thereuare Posted July 8, 2012 Report Posted July 8, 2012 These amenities can be common for a city hotel, but the Allerton or the Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago would be my best guess for this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
jgonzalez Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Posted July 9, 2012 Is there a better day during the week to book a hotel? I know that with airfare Wednesday is usually the best booking day. Do hotels work the same way?? ?
AaronJB Posted July 9, 2012 Report Posted July 9, 2012 There is not a particular day of the week to book, and purchase timing is discussed in detail in the FAQ.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

jgonzalez Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 Are you able to ID Expedia unpublished named hotels? Just curious
