Hotwire Hotel: Help identifying 4 star hotel in Chicago

[pandavw]

Hello,

I had some friends refer me to your site - they had great luck with Hotwire/Priceline. I am looking to book a weekend in Chicago from 8/5-8/8and am a little suprised at the prices posted on Hotwire - do they seem higher than normal?

4* at $118/night

- Airport Shuttle

- Fitness Center

- Pool(s)

- Restaurant(s)

- Business Center

- Laundry Facilities (self-service)

- High-Speed Internet Access

I am booking for 4 adults. Thank you in advance for your insight and help!!!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

The 4* would likely be the Crowne Plaza. You're running into the end of Lollapalooza (8/3-5), but that shouldn't really have an effect on your dates (aside from maybe some people staying an extra night on the 5th.)

Rates downtown are slightly better if you look at 8/6-8 separately, but if you look at 8/5-8, there is a 4* in Lincoln Park for $96. If you want to stay near downtown, that's still a little bit of a trek North of it, but certainly far closer than staying out by O'Hare (and a cheaper rate.)

Let us know your thoughts.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Booking for quad occupancy can also often cause rates to jump, especially in large cities.
