Hotwire Hotel: Trip to Chicago

[mattjamesmorgan]

Hey everybody,

I am going on a trip 1/15 to 1/17, two nights, to Chicago. I was wondering if anyone has any strategy as I must have a pet friendly hotel. I thought it might be possible to pinpoint the hotel in some circumstances but it is not always possible. I am looking for 4* or higher. Please advise, and thanks for any help.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Unfortunately, there is no way to ensure a pet friendly hotel with either service, especially PRICELINE. With HOTWIRE, you could guess that a listing may be a certain property based upon the amenities showing, but that's not 100% as it could be another property that has changed the set of amenities it appears with. What would be your desired budget per night? Are you looking to stay downtown?

I would like to keep it between 90 and 130 per night, magnificent mile would be preferred.

What do you guys think of Omni? and does anyone else have a recommendation for a great 4star or higher hotel meeting these requirements?

I also noticed anywhere will charge about $50 for pet and $50 per night for car. Good ol' cities =)

In the same ballpark, I'd rather suggest the new Palomar in this case, as the Kimpton chain is known for being pet-friendly (they do offer pet services and amenities, although do not list charges). That's $135 on Expedia and coupon code FROST11 takes $10 off per night.

Even better, the Amalfi - another very well-regarded boutique which offers free breakfast and an evening reception, is $124 on Expedia (and then FROST11 takes off $10), plus according to their website, no pet fee.
