Our plans changed and we're not going to Chicago at this time. :(

My budget is always as little as possible! :) Seriously though, I would like to keep the price under $200 per night including taxes and fees. I love the River North area. My preference is a hotel with breakfast included (i.e. Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites) but not crazy about some of the other properties that show up in the same star rating (Holiday Inn, Best Western, Comfort Suites). For that reason, I usually look for 4-star properties. They are generally more consistent. We could extend our stay to July 12-15 if the price is right (low!). Right now I'm seeing a lot of more expensive hotels ($250 and up). The Warwick Allerton seems tired, old and small. I would prefer not to stay there. I know this sounds like I'm picky - and I am! But you asked. This is why I always have a back-up refundable rate hotel reservation so I know exactly what I'm getting. I often stay away from hotwire and priceline because I get nervous! Thanks for your help.

Actually, I think I got two trips to Houston mixed up! The Hilton Post Oak information is correct but it was for a 1-night trip in August 2012. For this trip in March of 2014, a friend booked a reservation at the Omni Houston. She called to make the reservation directly with the hotel. Sorry for the misinformation. Oops!

We booked through priceline.com and won the Hilton Post Oak hotel in the Houston Galleria area. Total price was $79.96 with taxes and fees. I think the room was around $60-65. Parking was an additional cost of around $15.

Can you help me ID this Priceline Express hotel deal? 4* Chicago (North Michigan Avenue - River North) July 13-15, 2015 Priceline Express $158 Guaranteed amenities: Business Center Restaurant Guest Score: Rated 7 out of 10 Save 38% or more First screen said "bed choice available" but when I clicked on "choose," it said room assigned at check-in. This seems like a pretty good deal for these dates. Any guess what hotel? Warwick Allerton Chicago? Thanks for your help and insight.

Do you think this may be the Magnolia? Thanks for your help.

Yes, it's smoke free. I didn't include that since I thought all hotel rooms in Boston are now smoke-free.

Thanks for all the info on your site. I booked through your link to HOTWIRE. The hotel was just what I expected based on your information - the Intercontinental Boston for $116/night! I would have preferred the Omni Parker House for $95 through Priceline as another traveler won, but Priceline cannot guarantee sleeping beds for more than 2 people. I'm traveling with my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens). Any tips for the next time how to use Priceline with 4 travelers? We're looking forward to a great trip. Thanks again for your help.
