Out of those 4 I'd be most interested in Omni and Hotel Sax... both at totally different price points lol. Do you think more will show up soon since it's in a week from now? Or that prices will go down in that week? Or am I better off just booking now?

This is really close to the "last minute" window of time - if there is something that you're interested in I'd suggest booking now. The Omni is a very nice property, but if you're interested in the Sax, I'd suggest that for half the price of the Omni and take the savings to use in the city (nice meals, museums, etc.)

I'm researching both right now to see if there's anything about Hotel Sax that will turn me off of it. Location-wise, Omni is perfect, and I've stayed at another of their properties and really enjoyed it and I would get free WiFi and stuff because I'm a member. But then again, Sax is half the price. Do you have any insight about Hotel Sax?

The Sax was previously the House of Blues Hotel (the HOB is still across the street) and gets very good reviews on tripadvisor. While the Omni is on Michigan Ave, I don't think the Sax is that far of a walk to Michigan Ave and it's an easy walk to the wide variety of restaurants in the River North area.

Wifi is $15 at the Sax (according to Expedia), but with $90+15 - $105 vs $185 at the Omni, $80 savings over 4 nights - $320 difference.

I'll let my boyfriend know, he's booking it and I'll be fine with either. I'll make sure he uses your links and let you know what happens :)

Congrats on your success. :)

Terrific deal for this newer boutique property, in a really nice location. Smaller, more personalized property with only a few rooms on each floor. Glad you are pleased with the win.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

Just a note, I called the hotel and asked about an upgrade to a King Suite (which is 675sq ft, double the standard queen room), and he quoted me $30/night extra. As of now, I don't think I'll be springing for it just because I won't be in the room enough to make it worthwhile.

Thank you for the note - not a bad deal for an upgrade in the city, although personally I think the upgrades of most interest in Chicago are water view (river/lake)s at the hotels that offer them.

Let us know if you have any city questions.

Enjoy your stay.
