[travelbee88]

Hi,

I used your HOTWIRE link to look into a 4* hotel in the Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville area and get the following amenities for $95 a night:

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

90%of Hotwire reviews recommend it

Any idea is appreciated. Thanks!!! :)

My guess in this case would be the Sheraton.

I'll also recommend the Hotel Sax for $129 via Expedia (which offers half off parking if you are driving.)

I'm still indesisive as to whether I should get a hotel thru Hotwire in the North Michigan Ave Area or Magnificent Mile Area?

We want to do shopping, dining and a bit of sightseeing. Only going to spend one night in Chicago and want to make the most of out short trip.

Thanks very much for your help! :)

A guide to the areas:

Hotwire:

NMA-Water Tower-Gold Coast: This is essentially the North half of the North Michigan Ave. shopping area, plus the Gold Coast neighborhood that is only a few minutes walk North of the North end of the NMA area.

Mag Mile-Streeterville: This is the South half of the North Michigan Ave. shopping area. Streeterville is essentially a portion of the area just to the East of NMA, and over towards Navy Pier. This area also includes the River North area, which is a nightlife/restaurant heavy area just to the West a bit from Michigan Ave. A little bit of this zone falls just on the other side of the river, but it is otherwise almost entirely North of the river.

Loop: South of the River. Very nice during the day, but can be quiet (particularly in some areas of the zone) at night.

Priceline

Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park: South of the River. Closer to museums and fine during the day, but quiet at night.

NMA-River North - North of the River, and all of the NMA shopping area. Essentially a combination of HOTWIRE's NMA-WT-GC and Mag Mile-Streeterville.

Overall, downtown Chicago is not that huge, so it's not that big a journey from the North end to the South end. However, if you plan to be out at night, I'd recommend staying North of the River.
