Not sure how this hotel has maintained a 3* rating as it is nowhere close. The advantages it offered were: Close to US Cellular Field, free parking, and a free shuttle that would get you downtown and back twice a day. It is under renovation and really needs it but there was dust and dirt everywhere and even though we got renovated rooms they still had no toilet paper or towel holders in the bathroom, some of the plugs in the room didn't work and the WIFI was too weak in both of our two rooms to allow us to connect. The restaurant next door is ok but in Chicago there are always great options. It served the purpose at the start of our trip but overall this was a disappointing stay.

A very nice hotel that provided a free shuttle down to Miller Park which was appreciated. Wasn't able to get two beds per room as requested but they did bring up a single bed on request and it was a true bed not one of those fold in half jobs so it was very comfortable. Very happy with this choice.

This hotel is newly opened and it was the find of the trip. It is easily a 3 or 3.5* place with great rooms, good staff service and a great location for us as it was 10 mins to the ballpark. They provide a full breakfast each morning with either scrambled eggs or omelettes, bacon or sausage plus the always appreciated make your own waffle station. This was the cheapest hotel on our trip ($80/night) but it was the best.

Very nice hotel with indoor/outdoor pool and hot cookies at the front desk. Located in the N end of Chicago in a very nice neighbourhood. Shopping centre across the street and 1/2 mile up the road and also 20 mins from Cubs free parking and free ballpark shuttle which was greatly appreciated. Very happy with this pick

Thanks AaronJB - you nailed it - looks like a nice hotel and will meet our requirements nicely. You guys have been great help in booking great spots over the 4 cities and I will add reviews of each place after I stay there. cheers Brent

Didn't book anything last time round so now back looking for 2 rooms for 2 nights 28th, 29th of July for 4 adults that require separate beds in each room so now doing the 4 kid thing. Have found the following on Hotwire Easy View - Evanston-Skokie-Niles 3 * $87US/night FULL AMENITIES: Free Parking, Free Internet, Pet friendly, Indoor pool(s), Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, Tennis Nearby, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower Also have Evanston-Skokie-Niles 3.5 * $103US/night Thoughts on what these hotels might be. thanks

Ok, did the adult and children search to ensure 2 beds and now have the following offers on Hotwire Easy View 3.5* Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower $98 US/Night FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Spa Services, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower 3* Magnificent Mile Area - River North $96 US/Night FULL AMENITIES: Fitness Center, Business Center, Internet access, In-room accessibility, Roll-in shower Any thoughts on these two ? thanks

Sorry, the same hotel deal doesn't show up on Hotwire Easy View but there is a four star in the same locale that is listed for $115 US vice the $108US listed. Hitting the green button brings up. FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower I see there is a warning on the easy view that this might happen so if it is the same hotel then I guess the best plan is to book via the main Hotwire site. As for the room setup, there are 4 adults with the 2 guys sharing a room and the 2 women sharing the other room so having 1 queen bed per room won't work. thanks

Ok, checked out the Inn of Chicago and I don't think it will work as most of the pictures only show Queen or King Beds and I need 2 beds in each room. Now looking at Hotwire 4* Hot Rate Boutique Hotel Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower area - $109 US/night Amenities • Free Internet • Pet friendly • Boutique Hotel • Smoke Free Rooms • Fitness Center • Restaurant(s) • Business Center • Golf Nearby It has a 90% approval rating and to all ends looks like a good candidate if you could let me know your best guess. thanks\

Great thanks for the suggestions and the warning, will check these out further

Thereuare guessed it correctly on Hotwire Easy View and it appears to be a great deal. Free internet, parking, breakfast and it is 15 mins from Target Field so it is all good. Reviews on Trip Advisor are 87% positive and it is rated the #1 hotel in the area so it is all good. Thanks for the help - will update on how it turns out after we stay there. cheers Dunworkin

Just had a quick question - are you more likely to have success on lower bids on the priceline auction by waiting until say a couple of weeks before the trip or a couple of months or something in between ? thanks

Thanks for the advice and hotel suggestions. I will try your suggestion of bidding $70 for a 3 star downtown. Wish me luck

Ok went with the Hotwire Easy View 3.5 star and it turned out to be the Radisson as predicted by Thereuare. Place looks great and it has the amenities I was after at a very good price and it is close to Millar Park for our baseball park visit so that is a bonus as well. thank you
