shar786 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I am trying to book 2 hotel rooms for an upcoming trip from May 13 to May 15, 2017. I have narrowed down a list of hotels from Hotwire using the hot rate deals. Could you please advise on which hotels these could be? 4-star Boutique Hotel in Loop - Millennium Park area 90% recommended Favorite!

AaronJB Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Welcome to Betterbidding. I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look. Additionally, if you let us know more about what you are looking for (desired zones/budget/star rating and any other factors) we can instead research and make suggestions. I'm quite familiar with Chicago and would also be happy to answer any city questions.

shar786 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sorry about that. Below is the full list of amenities. It's my first time in Chicago. We are looking for at least a 4* hotel near Millennium Park or Magnificent Mile. I am open to suggestions on different areas, but I wanted to stay somewhere that is walking distance or a train away from all the attractions. I would like to keep the budget to less than $130 per night. 4-star Boutique Hotel in Loop - Millennium Park area 90% recommended Favorite!

AaronJB Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'd really recommend staying around the river or North of it. Parts of the Loop - especially the West side of the area - can be very quiet at night and on weekends. It's not unusual to see things like Starbucks and McDonalds even closed on Sunday in parts of the Loop. Chicago is highly walkable; you're likely going to find that you don't need to use public transit as much as expected. Some of what I'm seeing:PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the links below. You can also use the coupon code in my signature.) 4* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $103 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Guess would be the Sheraton. 4.5* Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park for $127 Pets Allowed Business Center Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Guess would be the Fairmont, which is on the other side of the river from the Sheraton. 4.5* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $134 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Guess would be the Hyatt Centric Mag Mile HOTWIRE: 4.5* Riverwalk - North Loop for $123.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be Fairmont 4* Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $87.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> Whitehall would be my guess. 4.5* River North for $115.00 Free Internet Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> Godfrey would be my guess. Aside from the bar with a retractable roof on the 4th floor, this is a very nice property in a prime location easy walking distance from tons of restaurants/nightlife in River North. Also, easy walk to Michigan Ave. 4* Loop - Millennium Park for $104.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet ==> No guess, but strong 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating showing on the detail page. 4* Loop - Millennium Park for $96.00 Free Internet Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf ==> I'll guess the Club Quarters Loop. 4* River North for $113.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Wheelchair Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> The Dana has been seen with this amenity set. 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating showing on the detail page. Would any of the above be of interest? Let us know if you have any questions before booking.

cyclej99 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 River North seems to be the sweet spot this season for best hotel/price and you can't beat the logistics. It's a tight zone so you don't have to worry about getting too far inland or migrating out of walking distance as can happen with the Millenium zone. We secured the Hyatt on Wacker today at $78/night this coming weekend using the River North zone, rated at 95% on Hotwire. The options available on the Magnificent Mile are great, but you may encounter add-on fees that don't apply in other zones which may add $10-20/night over your nightly rate. I'm particular about satisfaction rates with hotels in Chicago and would take a 3.5* at 90% over a 4* at 75%. Chicago is a walkabout town and provides so much better dining and adventure out of the hotel so we find it's really a clean room and a quiet/comfortable night's sleep. Link to comment
shar786 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Thank you everyone! I ended up doing the Priceline express deal that was 4* for Mag Mile for $103 using the link above. And ended up getting the Sheraton Grand Chicago. That's the hotel I was trying to get too! Thank you so much for the help! :) Link to comment
shar786 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I got the Sharaton Grand Chicago. Here's what it said for PRICELINE EXPRESS: 4* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $103 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Congrats on your success. I think that's a good choice - quite a reasonable rate, superb location (nice area - easy walk to Michigan Ave, easy walk to the lake and a nice newish Whole Foods a block away.) I would strongly suggest writing to request a room looking South. I don't think there are really lake views at this property after they wedged the new Loews hotel next door, but you could get river views. On the other side of the street from this property looking West is the NBC tower. You can cut through by walking along the river side of the tower and use that as a shortcut to get to Michigan Ave. Additionally, if you walk South on Columbus over the bridge, there is a staircase up on the other side. From there you can continue South on Columbus to Millennium Park. Please let me know if you have any city questions. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
