Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (North Michigan Ave - River North) Intercontinental Chicago

[toledo]

I'm adding another night to a Chicago stay. Was hoping to get the Westin again, but oh well.... Began bidding at $80 yesterday and got the message, "If you can raise your bid by $27 ($107/night)". I stopped bidding at $90. Today, when I tried again, I got the message, "If you can raise your bid by $18 ($98/night)". In both cases, I ignored the message and upped my 4* bid by $2 increments, using the Franklin Park, Hyde Park, Midway, Midway North, and Skokie areas. I knew that only NMA/Mag Mile had a 4*. Taxes and fees were another $21.58.

Congrats on your success. :)

Not the Westin, but the nice thing is that the Intercontinental isn't that far. The other aspect of this property is that it has a really cool history, especially the pool. The pool is one of the first public pools on a higher floor and was originally built in the late '20's.
