Priceline Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (North Michigan Ave - River North) Intercontinental Chicago

[austin_res]

Looking for a hotel in Chicago for Oct 9-11. Today, I found this on Hotwire:

4* in Magnificent Mile Area - River North

Rate: $125 (higher than what I normally pay in Chicago but this looks like a busier time in Chicago)

Tripadvisor: 4.5

Amenities:

Free Internet

Pet friendly

Boutique Hotel

Smoke Free Rooms

Fitness Center

Restaurant

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Accessible for the blind

Looking at the hotel list, I'd guess this is the Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront. Anyone agree?

The problem with these date/s unfortunately is that the Marathon takes place a couple of days after (and the Fall in Chicago is often a bit busy.)

HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.

Please try the following:

use this link to search HOTWIRE

from the search results page click the offer for this hotel

on the next page click BOOK NOW (no worries about purchasing by accident since no credit card information is entered up to this point)

on the left side of the page click the 'See all amenities' link

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

The easiest way to see the complete list of amenities (for more areas) is to do a search at BiddingHelper.com and use the new "Hotwire Easy View" tab... do you now see more amenities then you have listed above?

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

Unfortunately, the hotel disappeared when I tried to book. Will keep watching in the next few weeks. Hoping for another deal. Thanks for your help.

[AaronJB]

What are you looking for in terms of hotel/style/budget? I'd be happy to make suggestions.

Update: I booked the Allerton Hotel at $137 through Hotels.com and I used a 12% discount coupon code. I used the Hotels.com link on the Support Page to book. Including taxes, my total is $318 which is slightly more than the original HOTWIRE hotel. The reservation can be cancelled before Oct. 8 so I'll check periodically if any better deals come up.

[AaronJB]

Glad you were able to find something that works well for your travel plans. Thank you for using the site's Hotels.com link and let us know if you see any additional possibilities between now and your stay.

Last update: I just booked the Intercontinental Chicago, 4.5* hotel, through Priceline Express for $126. I used FALL5 coupon for a 5% discount. Rate on the hotel website is $224. I have stayed here before and look forward to another stay.

Guaranteed Amenities:

Pets Allowed

Restaurant

Business Center

Fitness Center

I used the PRICELINE link of course.
