Hotwire Hotel: Is the price for real?

[first_timer]

So I've been reading everyone's posts and I'm just wondering if the price that I'm seeing online right now is right.

My boyfriend and I are going to be going down to Chicago from Feb 6 - 10/06. We want to stay downtown. So filled in all the fields and looked for downtown Chicago. It has a listing for a 4* hotel on Wacker Dr - Magnificent Mile for $68 USD per night. I've been reading all the other posts and it doesn't look like anyone else has received a room for this rate in the area. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something (like hidden costs or something).

i am not too sure about what i am saying but it seems to be right

and maybe( but dont get back at me if it is not that :) )

it could be the

westin river north looking at the amenities and the rates but i am not totally sure or maybe the hyatt regency

make sure you re logged in and check the bonus money section (in the forum index) i think you might be able to get $10 off each night if the offer is still available

good luck anyway!

You can see the full cost including taxes and fees before you purchase. If this is the hotel you want, consider getting it, because prices often rise. I was thinking of some Hotwire purchases, and they have risen $10-22 in price during the last month while I was dillydallying.

It looks very much like the Hyatt is the $68 property for those dates, and $68 is not out of the ordinary for the Hyatt during the off-season, moreso in the Winter, after the first of the year. I've gotten 4-star properties for the 60's downtown, including the Sheraton a week or so ago on Priceline, and the Intercontinental for $68 Halloween weekend 2004.

I'm 99.9% sure it's the Hyatt. I just bought a room there for my parents, at similar rates, with the same amenities listed. See here:

Wow you guys weren't kidding...since I posted this that rate isn't even available anymore!!!

Now the next best rate for my budget that seems to be available is for the South Loop 3.5* for 64 USD...should I do it?

what are the amenities for the 3.5*, $64 Hotel?
