mueller Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 I have been searching using your HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links. I've made a few bids on PRICELINE only to get rejected. So as a fall back there is a HOTWIRE property that might work.5/13-5/16 2 adults3* for $98 Magnificent Mile Area-Streeterville area hotelfitness centerpoolrestaurantbusiness centerlaundryhigh speed internet
mueller Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 from looking at other posts it looks like it might be the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza. it looks like it's in an odd spot in the mag mile area
thereuare Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 The amenities above match both the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza and the Four Points, so either of these would be my best guess for this one.For what star rating and how high have you bid on PRICELINE?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

mueller Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 I can bid again tonight. Bidding in the Mag Mile zone. 4* got rejected at 100, and 3.5* got rejected at 80. Going to raise both of those bids and possibly add in the 3 star for 70 tonightWill search and book through your PRICELINE link or HOTWIRE link hopefully tonight

mueller Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 The old hotwire one is gone now, but there is a new one$96 4* North Michigan Ave/Water Tower/Gold Coastfitnessrestaurantbusiness centerinternet70% tripadvisorLooks like it could be the Allerton, Drake, Knickerbocker, or Westin. Does the tripadvisor ranking help narrow it down at all?
AaronJB Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 I'm seeing a 4* in this area for $129 when searching for 2 adults for 5/13-16 with the same amenities that has a 4/5 tripadvisor rating and a 90% approval rating (and the % approval rating is the HOTWIRE customer approval rating not the tripadvisor rating.) The tripadvisor customer rating is the logo further down the page. If you are also seeing 4/5, then it could be the Drake, Avenue or Knickerbocker.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
mueller Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 Yeah it was gone by the time I checked back. I booked the 3.5* Embassy Suites for $89, it appeared early tonight and from prior reading of the forum I knew it was the Embassy Suites. It will be perfect for what we are looking for next weekend. Thanks for your help! As always I booked using your HOTWIRE link
AaronJB Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 Congratulations on your success!Can't beat that deal - certainly an excellent rate for this very nice Embassy Suite property (which is in a great location.) Can you confirm which ES location you did get, and which amenities were showing with the listing? Thank you.)Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's HOTWIRE link.Enjoy your stay.
mueller Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Posted May 11, 2010 It is the Embassy Suites Lakefront, booking through their website would have cost $300! Thanks Hotwire and betterbiddingSuiteComplimentary BreakfastFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet Access
