thereuare Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool, and then click the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

AaronJB Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Mag Mile hotel would be a possible match for the Felix, Palomar or Sax, but I'd lean towards the Sax as being most likely. Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Best guess for this Chicago River North property would be the Hotel Sax.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know which you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

She Rah Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Best guess for this Chicago River North property would be the Hotel Sax.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know which you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.Ready to book today, location and great hotel, going to the House of Blues on Friday, some shopping and musuems on Saturday, in town to celebrate our daughter's 25th birthday, she is a pastry chef in Chicago. So good food is a must too. Leaning to Water tower locations, but a few blocks for $100 more is a consideration. Thank you for your time. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 The Sax would certainly be a great location in terms of the House of Blues (across the driveway - the Sax used to be the House of Blues hotel.) Pretty centrally located otherwise - not a bad walk to Michigan Ave and there's public transit to the museum (or a long walk on a nice day.) The River North area also has an incredibly wide variety of restaurant options. In terms of baking, The Spice House (in Old Town, right by the Lincoln Park Zoo) has wonderful cinnamon, vanilla and other ingredients (baking spices: http://www.thespicehouse.com/spices-by-category/baking-spices). La Fournette is also a pretty good bakery a couple minutes walk away.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
She Rah Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 I appreciate the help in the bidding process, I must say I am cautiously optimistic about the Ivy, haven't stayed there before, it looks nice, not on Michigan Ave which I was trying for. The location doesn't look bad, and I will remain optimistic. Link to comment
She Rah Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Arrrggh, I missed your message about the Hotel Sax, but got the Ivy Boutique Hotel for $176 through PRICELINE. I stayed at the House of Blues Hotel once probably 10 years ago, it was unique but nice. Thanks for you thoughtful suggestions, we come into town and treat her, and she gets to see the tourist side of town for a couple days, then back to the young peoples Chicago of less expensive ways to enjoy that great city.

AaronJB Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Congrats on your success. :)This is actually a very nice deal for a newer boutique (and very small property where the intent is more personalized service.) This is not on Michigan Ave but there are only a few hotels *right* on Michigan Ave. This property is really only about 2-3 short blocks from Michigan Ave, though - a very quick stroll.Thank you for letting us know about this new PRICELINE property so that we can update the site's Priceline Hotel List.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
