Rene6 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 My husband and I would like to take a long weekend trip to Chicago. We are planners and the dates that we will be traveling are 10/08 checking out 10/11. We have used hotwire and Priceline both in the past and have found great deals. These prices below don't seem that good to us so we were wondering if we should wait for another time. We would love to hear your advice. Please help!!!!!!The following are the hotels and the prices that I found on hotwire.$232.00 for a 4.5 Star hotel on the Magnificent Mile / Streetsville - It has a Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet, and Spa$227.00 for a 4 Star hotel on the Magnificent Mile / Streetsville - Boutique hotel, Non Smoking, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center and Internet Access$175.00 for a 4 Star hotel on North Michigan Avenue - Water Tower - Gold Coast - Fitness Center, Restaurant , Business Center and Internet Access.

AaronJB Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Welcome to the site.This would be due to the Marathon, which is going on during this particular weekend.If you would still like help ID'ing these listings, please let us know or we would be happy to suggest an alternate weekend.If you still want to go on these dates and are driving, I'd much rather suggest staying in the suburbs for far cheaper.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links, and let us know your thoughts on the above.

Rene6 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for the advice. These dates are set in stone because we are tacking this onto the end of a business trip. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Are you driving? Would you be against splitting your stay between 2 different hotels? Link to comment
Rene6 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 From what I discribed above. Can you guess the hotel?No.... We are both flying but at different times.I have not checked flights yet. Am I going to have sticker shock on this too? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 For the 4.5* Mag Mile/Streeterville, are you seeing additional amenities beyond the ones mentioned above?The 4* Mag Mile is likely the Hotel Sax.The 4* NMA is likely the Millennium Knickerbocker._______________________________________________________________________As an alternate option, I'd rather suggest this "Stay 2 Nights, Get 1 Free" non-refundable deal from Starwood Hotels (please use the link below)Stay 2 nights, get 1 freeSearch for 10/8-11, then a list of hotels will come up. Select the Westin River North, then indicate 2 adults. There should be a room option for $279 for the first 2, third night free = $558. $558/3 = $186. That's a beautiful hotel on the Chicago River.
