Right you are! Apologies for not looking after I press 'book now'

So Wyndham is the best guess?

I'm going to keep looking as well for some other options...

[AaronJB]

The Wyndham would be the best guess in this case. Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? The Wyndham was previously the independent Hotel 71 and that property has had steadily improving reviews over the years. The Wyndham is also in a terrific location by the Michigan Ave bridge (so a very central location.)

With an excellent 4.5/5.0 TA rating, and a great location, if not this property what is it that you're looking for from this stay?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

[AaronJB]

I do think the Wyndham for $129 is a good choice (and probably the best choice/value, not to mention central location), but browsing around, I also see: potential Intercontinental ($172), Doubletree Mag Mile ($166), Palmer ($138), possible Drake or Knickerbocker ($135.)
