Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower) Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile

[berfloodz]

Hi,

 

2 people staying in Chicago 18-20th of July

 

I am thinking of the following zones, 

Downtown Millenium Park

Mag Mile - River North

Mag Mile North - Water Tower

 

or equivalent zones in Priceline

 

I see 2 4* for

 

$154 

FULL AMENITIES: Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

and 

 

$168

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower

 

and 4.5* for 

$186 (i am thinking the Hyatt Chicago)

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access

 

$190 (I am guessing the James Hotel or the Westin)

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Pet friendly, Boutique hotel, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

I am finding it difficult to guess the 4* ones.

I am willing to bid on Priceline as well if you think there are better deals.

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks

If you bid, you have to be willing to accept any hotel at the star rating picked in the zones chosen. Bidding will likely result in a slightly-to-moderately cheaper rates, but that is due to bidding being more opaque. Hot.wire and PRICELINE EXPRESS are slightly-to-moderately more expensive, but if you are looking for amenities or a particular hotel or particular zone, then there is value in the higher prices of Hot.wire and PRICELINE EXPRESS. Again though, with bidding you have to be willing to accept any possibility given what you've picked.

 

If you want to bid, we'll offer thoughts on how to proceed. If you would rather go for Hot.wire, then we will research those listings (if so, please provide the zones for each listing above.)

Did you bid up to $185 at the 4.5* level or 4* level? Are these Hot.wire listings 4.5*?

 

I'm seeing a 4.5* in the Mag Mile N-WT area for $186 w/Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business.

-- Would likely be the Hyatt Mag Mile (on St Clair.)

 

4.5* Mag Mile-RN $211 w/Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly.

-- Would likely be the James.

 

I'm not seeing the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal - please confirm the star rating  - thanks.

Up to $185 with 4.5*

 

I am using the BiddingHelper.com tool and the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal is still there for $238. Its a 4.5*

[AaronJB]

I'd guess the James on the $238 PRICELINE EXPRESS.

 

Please keep us updated on what you decide.

Went with the Hot.wire deal for $184 and got the Hyatt so very happy with that.

 

Thanks for the assistance. I will be back shortly to book dates in San Fran :)
