I think the above maybe Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile?

Found another on Priceline:

3 Star Hotel in North Michigan Ave - River North Area for $109/night

Guest Score: Rated 7.0 out of 10 (or higher)

Guaranteed Amenities: Free Internet, Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Business Center, Fitness Center

Looks like this might be the same hotel as the above from Hotwire?

3* Mag Mile = possible match for the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza.

3.5* Mag Mile = this listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'd guess the Club Quarters Wacker/Michigan or River Hotel (which are both essentially the same.)

4* I'm seeing a 75% approval for this listing and, unfortunately, no tripadvisor rating to narrow down the possibilities. The Felix, Sax, Palomar and 71 would be possibilities. The approval rating is not a reliable indicator, but if it is an indicator of the hotel in this case and you are seeing it as well, I'd lean towards the Felix.

PRICELINE Express:

3* The Courtyard Mag Mile, Four Points, Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, Best Western River North, Homewood Suites, Springhill Suites and Residence Inn all have these amenities - I'd lean towards the Holiday Inn as being the most likely.

3.5* Amalfi, Courtyard River North or the Indigo would be possibilities in this case, although I'd guess the Indigo as most likely (which is not much more regular rate)

Either of the Westins or the Dana would be a match on the retail side for this amenity set and rating when searching for these date/s.

Thanks for your help. The price had increased to $139/night today but with the 10% sale I got the 'Milenorth, A Chicago Hotel' for around $125/night using PRICELINE EXPRESS.

Regarding taxes, I noticed that PRICELINE EXPRESS charged me around 20% in tax, where as booking directly the taxes were around 15%. Any idea why that might be the case?

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're pleased with the hotel and deal you received and this property works well for your plans.

With PRICELINE the 'taxes and fees' includes their booking fee, whereas the hotel direct purchase doesn't have a booking fee, but i presume is also much more expensive.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
