MMcC508 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thank you in advance for your help! First time traveling to Chicago w/ (2) kids (Ages 5 & 8). We'd like an indoor pool if possible. Budget is $150 or less which takes out a few options higher rated options. Using Hotwire with 2A & 2K vs Priceline's unknown room type. I found a 3.5* River North for $125 with the following amenities and my guess is either AC Hotel or Holiday Inn Mart Plaza. We'd prefer to be closer to Michigan Ave than the Holiday Inn so I am resistant to book this option. FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access. I also see this - Book soon! The last person got the Holiday Inn Chicago-Mart Plaza, IL. There is an option for free breakfast with the same 3.5* that is $152. The other hotels listed - Springhill & Residence offer free breakfast, while the Holiday Inn & AC Hotel is a surcharge. Does that offer any insight as to which hotel the $125 could be? If so, maybe I am better off going the $152, getting the breakfast and something other than Holiday Inn. I also find a 3.5* Mag. Mile-Water Tower for $92 that notes Pool(s), but not "Indoor". I am assuming that is accurate and we obviously won't be swimming outdoors in March in Chicago? FULL AMENITIES: Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access Sorry so long, been looking at options too long and decided it was time for help. Thanks Again!

thereuare Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding! I was seeing inconsistent results when searching HOTWIRE for your dates above, so if you're interested in the following offer please change your search to 3adults/1child and you should see the following: 3.5* River North for $127.00 with 95% recommendation rating (there is a similar one with only a 90% recommendation rating) Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet ==> from the Hotwire Hotel List this matches previous reports for the well reviewed AC Hotel Chicago Downtown so that would be my best guess for this one Switching back for the 2adults/2children HOTWIRE search: 3.5* River North for $152.00 Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Pet Friendly Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Kitchenette Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> the Springhill Suites by Marriott Chicago Downtown/ River North or the Residence Inn by Marriott Chicago Downtown / River North would be my guess here Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

MMcC508 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I went with the 3.5* for $127 and you hit it on the head, we got the AC Hotel! Thank you! M Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Congrats on your success. Terrific deal for this property! Hope you are looking forward to your stay. Great location, as well - Michigan Ave is a block away and Eataly is a block or two to the South. Plenty of restaurants a short walk away in River North. Please let us know if you have any city questions. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay.
