Hotwire Hotel: 3* ID Hotwire

[slightlybitterkitten]

Hi folks,

I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm new to the boards, so if I'm posting inappropriately, my apologies. I'm looking to narrow down a potential hotel on Hotwire.

My search is for Chicago, between 3 December and 5 December, 2010.

The hotel in question is going off for $96.

It is located in Mag Mile/Streeterville area.

It's amenities include: Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Laundry, and High Speed Internet.

Let me know if you have any thoughts!

Thanks,

Meghann

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

This could be a possible match for the Four Points or Holiday Inn Mart Plaza.

Personally, I'd rather recommend trying to bid $95 for a 4* in the River North-NMA area on PRICELINE and seeing if you could get a 4* in that area for that price. You could possibly get any of the 4*'s in that zone, but if successful, you'd be getting a 4* for the same price as a HOTWIRE 3*.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I would go with priceline if it were just the two of us. But, I'm booking for my parents and my sisters, and I feel like I need to control the bed situation. Am I wrong for thinking that I can't on priceline? I need a room with 2 double beds.

Thanks again.

PRICELINE unfortunately only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy. In this case, the 3* could be the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza or the Four Points Sheraton, but given the 4/5 tripadvisor rating, I'd lean towards it being the former.

It is more expensive, but the new Palomar (a Kimpton 4* boutique, which opened early last Summer and has gotten fantastic reviews) is $157 on sale (25% off) on Expedia for these dates, but FESTIVE10 takes another $10 off.
