AaronJB Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)The Mag Mile-Streeterville zone and the NMA-GC-WT zone are really two halves of the same whole; both make up the North Michigan Ave shopping area and the subareas directly next to it.4.5* MM - Intercontinental4* MM - could be the Hyatt, Sheraton, Hard Rock or Westin4* NMA - likely W3.5* NMA - Possibly Hilton Suites or maybe the Crowne Plaza Avenue.3* MM - likely the Holiday Inn Cass3.5* MM - likely the Doubletree.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
luminous Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 Oooh. Do you have a recommendation on the best deal?Thanks for the help!The 4* NMA Gold Coast(90% recomm.) with Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet Access and Spa Services just went down from 89 to 85. Wondering if I should go with that one.
AaronJB Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 It's not everyone's cup-of-tea, but you are looking for a trendy/boutique property, I'd suggest the potential W. The 3.5* NMA also seems like quite a nice price, especially for four people.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
luminous Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks, you were right about the price point. $79.34 total for 4 people was very good, and since this is more a place to crash than anything I went with it.3.5* NMA Gold Coast for $64 with Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, and Internet Access.95% recomm.Turned out to be the Hilton Suites Chicago Magnificent Mile. Pretty satisfied, considering the price and the 95% recommendation. :)

AaronJB Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 I really think this was a TERRIFIC deal, and I'm glad to see that it did turn out to be the Hilton. That's a superbly located property, right off Michigan Ave. and the Hancock and Water Tower are right there. Additionally, with four people, the larger suite is a real bonus. Definitely a fantastic discount off regular rate for this property, but I noted the deal was particularly good given four people - and if you book conventionally at this property (as is the case with many city properties and four adults), I believe an extra person fee of about $50 would have been added on per night, so this becomes an even better deal.Enjoy your stay, and if you have any city questions, please ask.
