Rachcu13 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Need help IDing this Hotel. I've done the research as I often try Hotwire or Priceline for trips, but haven't won in a while so I don't post much. I checked Expedia for Comparisons on Hotel Amenities, and I'm 95% sure its Crowne Plaza Chicago Metro Downtown off Halsted and Madison. This is actually near my good friend who lives on S. Halstead and 16th. So I'm happy with this property, but am I completely wrong? If you look at the Hotwire Map for this area, it pulls far west past the highway right where this hotel is located. 3.5* Chicago Loop - Theater District. $104 per night Fitness CenterRestaurantBusiness CenterHigh Speed InternetGolf NearbyAccessible for BlindAccessible for DeafAccessible path of travelAccessible bathroom Handicapped ParkingIn-room accessibilityRoll-in Shower Thanks in advance.

AaronJB Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Crowne Plaza Metro has been reported to the board with this amenity set previously so that would be my guess.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
Rachcu13 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Haven't pulled the trigger on this yet, but thanks for your input. I'm pretty sure the Crowne Plaza is correct. It has mixed reviews, but my friend actually lives in that area, so it seems like a good choice. Thanks! Link to comment

Rachcu13 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi all, Need help identifying this hotel at least somewhat. 3.5-star Hotel in Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park - Grant Park $109 per night. The only hotel you have listed in the list is Silversmith, and this might be fine, but is there a chance it's something else? This Hotel features the following amenities:Free Internet Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center High-Speed Internet Access Recommended:In 90% of Hotwire customer reviews.This is all that is listed, even when you click through to almost buy it. Please let me know if anyone can help! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 As the Silversmith has previously been seen with a different amenity set then this, it could very easily be a different hotel (or this hotel with a new amenity set)... unfortunately i don't have any insight into this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

I feel like this is an OK deal but it could be bad news. This is within my budget for my group. I need 2 rooms. Any other suggestions, dates non flexible. Thanks,Rachel Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'd also agree the Silversmith would be a possibility; the Club Quarters Loop may be as well. Do you need to be near a particular area?How many people are going to be in each room?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

Rachcu13 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have 2 in each room, and 4 people total so need 2 rooms. I noticed Club Quarters only has single beds, is that the case in the entire hotel? Anything decent and near downtown is what I'm looking for. We are going to Market Days, so near Public Transit is what I need really too.Thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 The issue with the city is that once you start getting out of the downtown area, there's really not very much until you get out into the 'burbs. Club Quarters properties often offer rooms on the smaller side; I believe both properties do have some larger rooms, but they are paid upgrades and PRICELINE/HOTWIRE reservations are not eligible - additionally, these bigger rooms are not two beds, I believe they are 1 + sofa.Rates for these date/s unfortunately appear as if they have gone higher - what would be your desired budget per night?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Rachcu13 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'd like to be under $400 per room, for 3 nights if possible. (total price) Think I would have better luck with Priceline? I actually thought waiting until last minute would be better....Today I see 4* in Downtown for $135, looks to be the best deal.... Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I noticed Club Quarters only has single beds, is that the case in the entire hotel?Is two beds a must? You risk getting one bed when using PRICELINE or indicating 2 or less per room on HOTWIRE.Please provide the full list of amenities showing with the 4* and we would be happy to take a look and try to ID the listing.You could get a cheaper rate with PRICELINE, but PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy.Better rates at the last minute have been seen less often over the last few years as rates overall have gone higher.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Rachcu13 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 New Option: Please Help. I don't necessarily need 2 beds now. Change of plans. 4* Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower area hotel - $131 a night. Only 75% Recommended. (is that bad?) Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Roll-in shower do I need to start a new topic or is this OK?

thereuare Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 As you have (correctly) done, we ask that you use the same thread for all posts for this stay... once you win a hotel use the EDIT TO REPORT WIN button on the lower right corner of this page to report your win (it's only visible to the OP and it can only be used once as it will disappear once it's used)Best guess for the Water Tower property above would be the Millennium Knickerbocker.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.

obc2 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Any 3.5 star Loop hotel for $109 is a bargain in the summertime. If you do get the Silversmith you are getting my favorite hotel in Chicago, by far. That said, a 4 star downtwon under $150 is a sweet deal too. I've never stayed in River North or Mag Mile area but my wife has and finds it delightful. I would say that all of your options look pretty solid in this thread. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 The Knickerbocker is a historic property with rooms that tend to be on the smaller side, but it was given a significant renovation a few years ago and the hotel is in a terrific location.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
