The 3* would be a possible match for the Congress Hotel or possibly the Travelodge, although I'd definitely lean towards the former. The 2* has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, although I've thought it MAY be the Travelodge mis-zoned (as it falls right outside this zone), but that's definitely only a guess and I would be very cautious of the 2*. Neither are good hotels; personally, I'd much rather recommend a 3.5* in the Gold Coast zone w/

for $116 which would be a possible match for the Indigo.

Additionally, you could also likely bid on PRICELINE for a 4* in the River North-NMA area and possibly win in the $95-115 range.

They are a bit more than the higher price of the two HOTWIRE listings you mention, but I think there are better possibilities/options in this range.

Let us know your thoughts and we would be happy to offer further suggestions.

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