SwimchickMSU Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Looking at hotels for 11/7- 11/9/17 in magnificent mile district. i see and 4.5 star hotel for $181 with pool, fitness center, Restaurant, and non smoking. I’m thinking it’s the Viceroy which seems to be a newer hotel on Priceline. What are your thoughts? It’s a little farther north than we would like... and the pool is outdoor which is a stretch for Chicago in November. We’ve previously had express deals at the Marriott and Hyatt. Which have better locations. any suggestions? I saw a few on Hotwire as well but I’ve never used their express deals... Any help would be appreciated!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 On HOTWIRE, I'm seeing: 4* River North for $167.00 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 ==> I'll guess the Dana Hotel and Spa in this case, which has been seen with this amenity set previously. There is also a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating showing on the detail page. If the Dana, this property is superbly located in the River North area, with tons of restaurants and nightlife nearby. 4.5* HOTWIRE Navy Pier for $212.00 Boutique Smoke Free Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> Guess would be the Ivy. If so, this is a very small boutique property a couple of blocks East of Michigan Ave. On PRICELINE EXPRESS when searching for 11/7-9 (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page), I'm seeing: 4.5* Magnificent Mile -Gold Coast for $182 No Smoking Rooms/Facilities >>>This amenity is common, but the Sofitel would be a guess. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the 4.5 w/a pool that you mention in your original post. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if we can be of any further assistance. 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.

SwimchickMSU Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Ugh! I’m not liking any of the PRICELINE deals... so looking more at the HOTWIRE. 11/7-11/9. Magnificent Mile. i see a 5* for $255 with internet, business center, fitness center, indoor pool, pets, restaurant, and non smoking. I’m guessing Waldorf based on some other posts. It states new to Hotwire. 4* for $216 with internet, boutique, fitness center, golf nearby, restaurant, and non-smoking. Do you think this is Whitehall? cant figure this one out. 4* $238 with internet, business center, fitness center, pet, restaurant, laundry available, and smoke free. Hoping to book today!! 😀 Help would be appreciated! Link to comment

thereuare Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Note that HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings you will see the full amenity set that AaronJB has posted above. 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.

SwimchickMSU Posted October 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Booked!! The option you thought was Whitehall dropped to $160 and I snatched it up. And it was the Whitehall. Thanks for all the help. HOTWIRE is definitely different than PRICELINE with the prices changing all the time! Happy with what we ended up with! Used your HOTWIRE link!
