MrCodeDude Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Older hotel, the lobby and common areas were really nice. The rooms were a little worn out, showed more of the hotel's age.
thereuare Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Thank you for sharing your win and thoughts on this property with the board. While this historic hotel may be showing signs of its age (so am i ), hopefully you found it to be a good value for the price paid and overall enjoyed your stay.

jordansbulls Posted June 23, 2018 Report Posted June 23, 2018 I have been searching for dates of July 24-25th but see no indication of the Drake. Does Priceline and Hotwire at times take the hotels off or do they stop offering as mystery hotels?
AaronJB Posted June 23, 2018 Report Posted June 23, 2018 PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE generally offer 1-3 hotels per star rating per zone for each set of dates, so only a limited amount of hotels are offered and inventory of listings can be limited as well. Hotels may also offer discounted inventory only rarely; some hotels are commonly reported as wins and some may be seen commonly for a bit and then not for a while. You mentioned in the Congress Hotel review thread that you are staying there. I wouldn't recommend it; it's a very historic property but it's not been well maintained over the years and continues to get a lot of negative reviews - I'd recommend reading the Yelp reviews. If you are looking for an additional night in Chicago, please start a new thread and I would be happy to offer recommendations. I'm not seeing the Drake, but in terms of historic properties I'm seeing on HOTWIRE: 4* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $156.00 Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Millennium Knickerbocker, which is about 1.5 blocks away from the Raffaello and would be a better option than the Congress. Not a historic property, but would be a better deal: 4.5* HOTWIRE Millennium Park for $131.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Swissotel Please start a new thread for the additional night letting us know more about what you're looking for and we would be happy to offer recommendations.
