Hotwire Hotel: Help IDing 4 star Magnificent Mile Area River North

[lmc77]

Hi there, me and my best friend are doing route 66 next year and looking to stay in Chicago for three nights from the 25th Aug. I have had some great help before from better bidding but just wondering if there is any way of ensuring you do not get a King size bed as we would need to beds?

I have emailed the hotels previously when i have had the email from hotwire but this has not always been successful.

Thanks in advance

You can search HOTWIRE for 2adults/2children which will ensure quad occupancy which inturn should also ensure separate sleeping accommodations. While this usually means two beds in the room, the second 'bed' could be a pullout sofabed, rollaway brought into the room, etc.

Would this suffice for your needs?

Hi

Yeah that would be fine thanks very much for your help. When we manage to get our flights confirmed (they are crazy high prices at the moment) we will of course use the HOTWIRE link through this site agin!!

Thanks again

have a good one!

Unless there's something going on during these date/s (convention/event), this period is usually not a particularly busy one. You could stay SW of the city in Oakbrook or nearby and that would put you near Route 66 and offer cheaper hotels, but would require driving to a nearby Metra station and taking the train in. It's best to stay downtown (and again, usually this isn't a bad period price-wise), but Oakbrook is a nice SW of the city option if rates stay high. You definitely have time though.

Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.

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? This is what i am seeing when searching for your dates 2adults/2children:

Boutique

Smoke Free

Fitness

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

If this is what you're currently seeing my best guess for this one would be the Hotel Sax.

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

The Sax is in a terrific, central location at the bottom end of the River North area. The RN area has a ton of restaurants and nightlife.

Just an update

Got a great deal through Expedia for the Hyatt PLace River North. Just under £45 ($68) a night each. So in the end we went with this.

Thanks again for all your help.

Will now be looking at a hotel for LAX using the links on here of course!!

[AaronJB]

Quite a deal for both a well-located property and one that's quite new.

Enjoy your stay.
