Thanks
earwig Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Posted October 12, 2017 Is it possibly the vicoroy? I just read a similar description in another thread. I would for sure want to book that one.
AaronJB Posted October 12, 2017 Report Posted October 12, 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 then click the green "Full Amenities" button, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If you see: 4.5* Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $190.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Childrens Activities ==> A guess would be the Viceroy. Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel? I'm quite familiar with the city and would be happy to research and offer recommendations.

earwig Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Posted October 12, 2017 I'm very ready to be done with the search. It's a birthday so it's kind of special. I've been following prices for a while and they aren't going down. The Vicory would be awesome though. Looking for 4 star or above with ratings of 95%.
earwig Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Posted October 12, 2017 This is my first time examining your search gadget. I do see the same amenities as listed above. Also with the 100 percent rating somehow as compared to the HOTWIRE site that said 95 percent. Also looking at a hotel for 183.00 that could be the radison aqua blue or fairmont. I think I'll go with the vicoroy though. It's new. That means clean. That's exciting.
earwig Posted October 12, 2017 Author Report Posted October 12, 2017 I didn't realize how far north it is. I had a request to book near the river or millennial park so I'll hold off to check if location is okay. If not maybe I'll have to go with the Hyatt. First choice was the Westin on the river or Chicago Atheletic club and $220.00 all in is the maximum. I'll use the link and post the results. Thanks.
AaronJB Posted October 12, 2017 Report Posted October 12, 2017 On PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm the dates of travel are showing on the detail age after clicking the links below) I'm seeing: 4.5* Downtown - River North for $184 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>This would be a possible match for the James, which is an easy walk from the river. 4* Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park for $127 Business Center Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Possible match for the Hyatt on Wacker, which is right on the river. Giant, convention-oriented hotel but reasonable rate for these dates. Would either of these possibilities be of interest? Unfortunately I'm not seeing what appears to be the Westin River North Thank you for keeping us updated and please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

earwig Posted October 13, 2017 Author Report Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks for the info. I thought the James would work but it came to $240.00 which was more than I wanted to spend. This morning the Chicago athletic club prices dropped on HOTWIRE non express and I was able to reserve a refundable room for $236.00 including fees. Still more than I would like to pay. So I’m still going to track prices here and see if anything cheaper/better pops up. Thanks for you help.
thereuare Posted October 13, 2017 Report Posted October 13, 2017 You can also search one of our other sites RefundableRates.com to see if there is anything else near where you want to stay that is refundable up until a few days prior to your arrival (there is also a ticker box there to see hotels that are non-refundable, you may also want to check that too just in case there is something offered that is worth locking in at a lower price) 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.

earwig Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Posted October 16, 2017 Hi again, trying to figure out which hotel this might be $192.00 river north 11/4 four star FULL AMENITIES: Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower 90% rating
AaronJB Posted October 16, 2017 Report Posted October 16, 2017 I'm seeing on HOTWIRE when searching for 11/4: 4* River North for $192.00 Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be Hotel Chicago, which has been seen with this amenity set previously. The detail page for the listing shows a 4/5 tripadvisor rating. If the Chicago, this used to be the House of Blues Hotel and is right on the river. Also seeing: 4.5* HOTWIRE Millennium Park for $184.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Smoke Free Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Spa Childrens Activities Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Roll-in Shower ==> Guess would be the Swissotel, which has been seen with this amenity set previously.

earwig Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Posted October 31, 2017 4* PRICELINE EXPRESS magnificent mile-gold coast area $130.00 Nov. 4th $130.00 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities 20 reviews on HOTWIRE and 123 reviews on trip adviser so pretty new to hotwire Hoping it's the Hotel EMC2?
thereuare Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel, use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the upper right corner of the page to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion. For this PRICELINE EXPRESS offer (confirm your dates on the landing page after clicking the link provided below): 4* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $130 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> these amenities are fairly generic for a 4 star 'downtown' hotel so i don't see anything that would exclude the EMC2 from the possibilities, but my first guess would be the Raffaello Hotel with the Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago as a secondary option 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.

earwig Posted October 31, 2017 Author Report Posted October 31, 2017 okay thanks. Being that it's a priceline hotel I wasn't sure where to put it. I was guessing EMC2 because it has a rating of 9 and only 20 reviews. Weird though when I go to the payment screen ready to purchase it then says it has a rating of 8. The same thing happens with another hotel. It says rating of 9 initially and then rating of 7 on the payment screen. I would just be bummed out to get the Raffaello Hotel with the Millennium Knickerbocker Chicago since I wouldn't have chosen them.
AaronJB Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS currently (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page): 4* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $130 Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>I'm seeing an 8+ rating with this listing and would agree with the Knickerbocker as being the most likely result. Also: 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 >>>Likely the W Lakeshore 4.5* Downtown - River North for $158 Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>Guess would be the James I'm seeing on HOTWIRE today: 4.5* HOTWIRE Magnificent Mile - Water Tower for $106.00 Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Childrens Activities ==> Not certain, but a guess here would be the Westin Michigan Ave. The SCARYSAVINGS promotion in my signature takes $10 off making this $96. For one night - and especially if you're going to be out in the city and not spending a ton of time in the room - this is a good value and a very good location. I'll also note on HOTWIRE: 4.5* HOTWIRE River North for $125.00 Pet Friendly Boutique Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> This amenity set has been seen previously with the Palomar.
