Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (Magnificent Mile Area - River North) InterContinental Chicago

[rgmbl13]

I was hoping someone might be able to help me determine what hotel I may be looking at. It is in Chicago Mag Mile River North area, 4* for $67 p/n. The amenities are: 

Boutique hotel / Business center / Fitness center / Restaurant(s) / Smoke-free rooms / Spa services / Free Internet / Accessible for visually impaired. It shows a 65% approval.

 

I looked at the Hotwire list and I think it could be 1 of 3: Dana Hotel & Spa, The Godfrey or Hotel Felix.

 

My wife and I will be visiting Chicago for the first time for our 15th Annivesary. We were told to stay in/around the Mag Mile area, but we are not sure where in the Mag Mile area

would be best. We have reservations at the Comfort Suites at 320 Michigan Ave already for $400ish as it seemed like a good deal(price & location), but not knowing, I continue

to look (I can cancel with no penalty).

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Ron

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

 

Congrats on your anniversary! 

 

When I go to BiddingHelper.com, search for your dates, then click on "Hotwire Easy View", I'm seeing:

 

4.5* Downtown Chicago-River North $74 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

-- Likely Intercontinental.  This property on the opposite side of the bridge from the Comfort Suites and about equal distance from the bridge. It is a huge property with a very rich history.

 

4.5* River North $67 Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Wheelchair Accessible, Roll-in Shower

-- Likely Felix. This property is in a great location near tons of restaurants in River North, but the rooms are very small and reviews remain mixed.

 

While somewhat more expensive, I'm seeing a 4.5* for $92 w/Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Roll-in Shower in the Mag Mile N-Water Tower area.

-- This would be a possible match for the Sofitel, which would be a really nice result.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions. I'm very familiar with the city, as well and would be happy to answer any city questions.
