Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Downtown - West Loop) Crowne Plaza

[coharahawk]

Tough weekend for hotels in Downtown Chicago. Tried on PRICELINE for quite awhile at much higher rates than usual for Loop area. I've also been trolling HOTWIRE for several days. Used Better Bidding links for both. Finally settled on Chicago West Loop 3.5* at $116 with following amenities:

Amenities

Fitness Center

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Golf Nearby

Accessible for the blind

Accessible for the deaf

Accessible path of travel

In-room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

Roll-in shower

Ended up winning:

Crowne Plaza Hotel Chicago

733 West Madison,

Chicago, IL, 60661

(312) 829-5000

I took a gamble and lost, as this is about the furthest possible hotel in the Loop region from Millennium Park (the desired destination). Although it is much lower priced than closer hotels.

Is this far from The Magnificant Mile and Shopping???

[coharahawk]

About 1.5 miles to the intersection of Wacker and Michigan Ave according to Google Maps. Depends on what you consider far.

However, if you don't want to walk, the #20 bus (see Transit Chicago) will take you right to Millenium Park. The hotel also is right by Greektown and is walking distance from The French Market plus a selection of great restaurants in the West Loop area (Girl and the Goat, The Publican, Avec, etc.). It's also about 2/3 mile up Halstead to the terrific Piccolo Sogno.
