Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Please keep all posts for this stay within this thread - thanks.

 

For both listings:

 

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.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including accessible) then what you have listed above?

4.5* Mag Mile RN FULL amenities $167/night

 

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'm thinking The James

 

My other 4.5* hotel is not showing on the Easy View, but i'm pretty sure it's the Omni with the indoor pool.

[AaronJB]

The Mag Mile RN 4.5* for $167 would be a likely match for the James.

 

For the 4.5* w/pool for $210 in the Mag Mile-RN area, if you click on the listing, click "book now", then "see all amenities", if you see:

Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower, Pet Friendly

 

This would be a possible match for the Intercontinental.

So I didn't book last week like I should have. Now the 4.5* is $210 up from $167, what are the chances prices will drop again? Thanks.

No way to know. If there's something going on on these dates, the prices could continue to drift higher.

 

What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?

I want to stay max $200/night. I'm just mad at myself for not booking on Thursday like I planned.

[AaronJB]

There's a 4.5* in the Mag Mile N-WT area for $174 (you may see a slightly different price) w/Boutique, Restaurant, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet.

- This would be a possible match for the Ivy. Newish hotel, uniquely small (with a few rooms per floor, it's definitely a boutique where service can be more focused) and great location. 

 

Would this be of interest?

Thanks for the help Aaron! I went with your suggestion and got the Ivy Hotel. I'm happy with that win.

[AaronJB]

Congrats on your success. :)

Very nice win for this property and hope you are looking forward to your stay. I think you made a great choice - this property is superbly located (and despite the Mag Mile N-WT zone, it's actually pretty much at the bottom of that zone, close to where the Sheraton is.) 

 

Please let me know if you have any Chicago questions.

Enjoy your stay.
