Hey, So my first attempt at using Hotwire turned out to be not quite as successful as I had hoped. I ended up getting the 4* Westin River North in the Magnificent Mile for $159 per night for four adults on August 28th and 29th. The amenities shown were: fitness center, business center, restaurant, and highspeed with a 4.5 tripadvisor rating. The reason I booked it at this price at around 7am EST was because the price shot up to $198 late last night and then suddenly dropped again. Unfortunately, the price two days ago was $122 and there is now a 3.5* suite up for $98 for four people up now, which I most likely would have booked instead. Regardless, I want to thank the forum for help advice! Thanks again, Kyle
