The golf nearby is throwing me, as I cannot see this on hotel descriptions.
Any idea?
Thankyou
It says the last person got the Sofitel, but I find that very strange as the Sofitel doesn't have an indoor pool!?
Last time we stayed at Londonhouse, which we loved, but it is too pricy this trip
I.m really so sorry I forgot to come back and close this thread.
We went for the one that was The London House, and loved it.
The hotel was great and it was just in the best location.
I couldn't have wished for a better location.
Thankyou
Thankyou.. People say the rooms in Viceroy are very small.
I'll maybe take another look at that Hilton..
I;ll get a decision made very soon.
There is one on PRICELINE also looks to be the Godfrey!
Thankyou so much, very informative.
The Londonhouse I'm not sure about; I'm not a lover of Hilton hotels
The Godfrey, now that bar sure is a downside, and 10 nights, mmmm
The W, well I quite like SPG hotels but note what you say about location.
Should I hold off and see what else comes up, as I know the offers change?
Or perhaps have another look at PRICELINE.....
I note you are familiar with Chicago.
This is my first visit to the city, so would appreciate any help.
I am ready to book.
Dates are July 25th - August 4th
I have read as much as I can but unsure exactly which area would suit.
We are not young, but can walk for miles, and love eating and drinking.
A walkable area.
Would like to keep the cost to under 2000 usd.
Reading all the reviews I think I would prefer to go for 4.5 star.
Hotwire appears to be cheaper than Priceline.
What is jumping out at me at the moment is
River North 4.5 which will be The James/Godfrey/Palomar/Conrad
All seem decent @160
or
Mag Mile/Water Tower 4.5 guaranteed chain hotel @ 169
Am I looking at the right areas?
Expert advice gratefully accepted
Well it came back on for me today. so i booked it, and it is the Hilton Waldorf. Location is where I wanted, so I am happy with the price. Booked through the PRICELINE EXPRESS link on this site so also got the 5% discount so a win win today.
Amenities listed were
Free Interne tBed Choice Business Center Fitness Center
Non Smoking Restaurant Swimming Pool
When I click on that link I only see the new one at 244$, no pool, pet friendly. Maybe as I am in UK I am seeing different! Modern technology!
Yeah even clicking on there says not available. What i am getting now is one at 244$, pet friendly this time so not the same one, possible Le Meridien?
Well snooze you lose, I went to book it and it's gone!
Looking on Priceline for a 4 night stay 27th September- 1st October.
There is a 5* for £176 with the following amenities

I thought perhaps the Waldorf Hilton?
Seems like a good price wherever!
Thankyou
I like this hotel, it is nice
I emailed Hotwire about my reservation stating the rooms have safes but they chose not to answer the question, just giving me a load of waffle if I have a problem again.
I did find on checking in we would get the worst rooms in the hotel through Hotwire!
First we got an adjoining room which we refused so we then got a room next to the icemachine, cleaner's closet and cleaner's lifts, which made our room vibrate day and night!
Apparently this is all we deserved for booking through Hotwire.
Never had that problem with the Westin Oaks and won it many times.
We ended up booking our favourite hotel here, Le Marais
We booked The Madison on this trip.
Wasn't worth it.
wish I'd taken a chance
My first ever Hotwire disappointment.
We paid for 4 nights here but could not even stay for one.
What a dump, it is like a cheap motel.
Our reservation quite clearly states under "rooms" "safes".
There is no room safe and it is an extremely unsafe hotel to stay in.
Metal strips are being put on the doors to prevent further breakins and we were told quite clearly not to leave a room key in room as it could be used to steal our car.
And this was something we had to pay for as an extra!
There is no security here at all. And if "people" know there are no room safes well.......
As we were travelling and shopping we could not take the chance of leaving our stuff in this horrible smelly room.
I have never been in such a hovel in my lifetime of travelling.
Please be very careful of taking a chance on this hotel!
No 4 stars coming up on Hot.wire deals at the moment so I will need to keep looking
i usually go for the 4 star but none were available due to the start of OTC . i should have booked in December when I booked the other dates but I thought I would leave it until i got back from holiday. I live and learn. Even the Memphis ones I looked at then have gone up in price so I will be booking that very soon, probably this weekend. Nola I am still undecided what to go for. Will update my threads as soon as.
Price
86$ without tax
A decent price I think for the time of year and area
I used HOTWIRE link and there was a coupon for 20$ off my stay

As it was same spec as my win at Hilton Post Oak I wrongly assumed it would the same hotel but I am happy to move across the road!

Although initially wanted Westin Oaks I am happy with this hotel
I then booked exactly the same spec for the next 3 nights and got Westin galleria at 30$ more per night
