Hotwire Hotel: 4* Chicago (Downtown - Millennium Park - Grant Park) Hyatt Regency Chicago

[jostty]

Looking for 3 rooms in Chicago for 9/19-23.

Hotwire shows 3.5 star at $138/nite with the following:

Pet friendly,

Smoke Free Rooms,

Fitness Center,

Business Center

High Speed internet

Accessible for the Blind

Accessible path of travel

In room accessibility

Wheelchair accessible

Bathroom accessible

Handicapped parking

Roll in shower

Any ideas?

[thereuare]

Is there a FREE INTERNET amenity listed too?

If so, my best guess for this one would be the Wyndham Blake Chicago.

It would be appreciated if you used the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

[jostty]

There is free internet. I missed that. Like to

think I can get something a little cheaper but

that wouldn't be bad. Still have time. Bid up

to $120 for a 4* witout success.I use the PRICELINE

link most of the time. A little inconsistent with

HOTWIRE.

Thanks. Will keep you posted.

Thank you for using the site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and start each search. Are there more than 2 people in each room? You may be able to get something cheaper via PRICELINE or something similarly priced North of the river (are you looking to stay in the Loop?)

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

[jostty]

The Loop would be best but North would be

ok too. Prefer being close to a subway station

in the City/downtown. We have two people to a room.

Thanks. Will update as things progress.

[thereuare]

The Loop would be best but North would be ok too.

Not really clear if you only want to bid the Loop or also include NMA in your bidding.

If you'd like help with a bidding strategy let us know all zones that you're willing to accept, desired star rating, and maximum bid... we can then suggest a strategy for you to follow.

[jostty]

We are ok with either zone. I check HOTWIRE daily

but have been bidding with a limit of $120 on PRICELINE.

3.5+ in either zone would be fine but I am afraid to

go to 3.5 in the Loop. I have seen Club Quarters come up

and it looks like they only have one bed rooms. I know there

is no guarantee anywhere but 2 beds are a strong preference..

I've got the bidding zones down pretty well. It is early

but you never know

[AaronJB]

So have you been bidding 4* in the Loop to avoid 3.5*?

There are properties in the city at all star levels where I'd say 1 bed is likely (the Palmer in the Loop and Allerton in NMA are the first couple that come to mind at the 4* level), but as you mention, 2 beds in general is not guaranteed when bidding.

Still looking at the above dates for Chicago

for 3 rooms. The Downtown Millenium Grant Park

zone just listed a *3.5 for $107 a night.

Amenities include:

Free Internet

Smoke free

Fitness

Restaurant

Business Center

Laundry(self serve)

High speed internet access

Accessible for blind

Accessible for deaf

Accessible path of travel

In room accessibility

Accessible bathroom

Handicapped parking

Roll in shower

Any thoughts on what it might be. The price

in the area is the lowest I've seen for a *3.5.

Thanks

The Silversmith Hotel 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.

[jostty]

Thanks very much. I'll take a look.

The price jumped a little but still

pretty good.

[thereuare]

Let us know what you decide... with a 4.5/5.0 TA rating this property gets excellent reviews.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

[AaronJB]

$107 is a good deal in general for these date/s. If the Silversmith, I'll suggest Flat Top Grill down the block - not the best ever, but a good value: it's a small regional chain where you can make your own stir fry, and if you pay for it, you can continue to go back again and again.

[jostty]

I should have grabbed it. It looks like the

same hotel went up to $192/nite. Thanks for the

tip!

[AaronJB]

What are your plans at this point - desired budget, thoughts, etc?

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

[jostty]

Not sure if you want a new topic but I ended up taking a HOTWIRE

listing for $146/nite. 4* 9/19-23 for 3 rooms. It ended up

being the Hyatt Regency on East Wacker Street(Millenium/Downtown).

The amenities that were listed were the same as listed on Betterbidding's

list including Spa and Laundry. I have stayed there before but a little cheaper

I was bidding on PRICELINE up to $140 for a *4(Loop and North)without success and

was getting a little nervous since I had no back-up.

Used Betterbidding PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links as much as possible. It actually make things

easier.

[AaronJB]

Congrats on your success. :)

Nice deal for this well-located property during a busy period.

Can you confirm the amenities that were showing with this listing? This information is available under the trip information in your HOTWIRE account.

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

Enjoy your stay.
