Hotwire Hotel: 4* Chicago (Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower) Millennium Knickerbocker

[hotchip]

Hi,

 

I need assistance identifying a 4 star in the water tower area. $80, regularly $166. Dates of travel: March 21-23.  Amenities include fitness center, internet access, business center, self service laundry, accessible for blind, accessible for deaf, accessible path of travel. 4 out of 5 trip advisor. 90% recommend. Based on hotel lists I have narrowed it down to the Allerton because they list laundry facility as an amenity. I called the Westin and they do not have self service laundry. But Allerton has a 3.5 trip advisor rating and the west in has 4.0. Which hotel is it? 

 

Thank you.

Hot.wire's amenity is listed as "self-service laundry", but there have been many hotels that are listed with this amenity that have some form of laundry other than self-service. I'm not positive on what this listing may be:

 

Either the Allerton (the tripadvisor rating is not updated live), but I don't believe I've seen the Allerton with a 4/5 in a while or this is a previously reported hotel (the Westin Michigan Ave would be a maybe as they do have laundry) with a different amenity set than previously reported.

 

Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? I'm familiar with the area, so I'd be happy to take a look and make recommendation/s.

Regarding this Chicago Priceline Express win, early in the thread you mentioned that the offer mentioned was no longer available... do you recall if the same property re-appeared or if you purchased a hotel with a different description (or used PRICELINE bidding or HOTWIRE)??

In regards to the property above, my best guess for this one would be the Millennium Knickerbocker.

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

The property did reappear and ended up being the Sheraton. It was weird,

[hotchip]

I am staying with 2 friends and need a room that accommodates 3 people. I put this in the search function. Any ideas how this affects hotel listings?

[AaronJB]

If you search for 3 people, you should get some form of bedding for the entire party. That may be 2 beds or 1 + sofabed or 1 + rollaway.

 

You may see different ilstings when searching for more than 2 adults vs searching for 1 or 2.

I just really don't want it to be the Allerton. I stayed there before and it was like a crackerbox.

[AaronJB]

What are you looking for in terms of style/max budget? Would be the River North-NMA area also be acceptable?

I prefer the michigan ave area and want it to be as cheap as possible.

I prefer 4 stars.

[AaronJB]

The River North-NMA zone is either reasonably near or on the Michigan Ave shopping area. The River North part of this zone is terrific - it's not far from Michigan Ave, but has a ton of restaurants. This zone is also more centrally located in the city overall.

 

The Mag Mile-WT zone is the North half of the NMA area.

 

I'm also seeing: potential  Intercontinental ($121), potential Palomar ($154), as well as a 4.5* on Price.line Express in the River North-NMA area (plus SPRING14 coupon takes 5% off.) The Hotel Chicago (which was formerly the Sax) is $135 regular rate for 2 doubles on Hot.wire - that property is in a great location by the river. It's a bit of a walk to Michigan Ave, but near tons of restaurants.  Let us know if any of these possibilities would be of interest and we would be happy to point them out on Hot.wire

 

The $80 would be the cheapest 4* option, although if the Knickerbocker, that is an older hotel with rooms that - while renovated a few years ago - are on the smaller side.
