Hotwire Hotel: Hotel for 12/7-12/8 Chicago

[ScootersMommy]

I was just looking at Hotwire for a stay 12/7 - 12/8. Wondering if I could get some help with IDing these.

4* North Michigan Ave - Water Tower $66

Boutique, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet, Golf Nearby - Guessing this one is the Whitehall

3 1/2* North Michigan Ave - Water Tower $72

Boutique, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet, Golf, Tennis, Spa

4* Mag Mile - $99 - This is the one I am most interested in

Non smoking, Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet

3* Mag Mile - $64

Fitness Center, Business Center, Internet

I am nervous to jump on HOTWIRE and book instead of calling the hotel directly, but I also want to save some money! We are going to Wicked at Cadilac Palace Theatre, but also going to Navy Pier, doing a little shopping, and probably Millenium Park so not sure where is the most convenient to stay.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

The 4* NMA could be the Talbott or Whitehall, but would almost certainly be the Whitehall.

The 3.5* NMA would likely be the Indigo.

The 4* Mag Mile would likely be the Sheraton

The 3* NMA would likely be the Inn of Chicago.

From a purely hotel perspective, I'm a fan of the Indigo, and if the 3.5* NMA listing is the Indigo, I think that's a cute property. It is not as centrally located in the Gold Coast area - that's a very nice area, but it's a bit North. Still, easy access to the subway to get to the Loop in a few minutes.

Not a huge fan of the Sheraton, personally, but it's in a nice location by the river and a few blocks East of Michigan Ave. I find the Avenue via Orbitz for $107 (and then coupon ORBITZ5 takes 5% off) more appealing, personally - with the 5% coupon that would be only a few dollars more than the Sheraton.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE or Orbitz links to start your purchases and searches.

It's a one nite stay in the downtown of a major city for under $100... no better time to give it a try. :)
