Priceline Hotel: Chicago-Grant Park 4 star

[MooseWisco]

Hi, trying to get idea of what hotel would get with the 4 star express deal on priceline in the grant park area. Staying Feb 23&24. Currently price is listed as $64 a night. Amenities listed, pets allowed, business center, free internet, non smoking

Welcome to Betterbbidding! 

 

I'm seeing on PRICELINE EXPRESS when searching for 2/23-25 (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the link below.)

 

4* Chicago Loop - Grant Park for $64
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Free Internet
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
>>>Best guess would be the W City Center.

 

This W property (which was heavily renovated a few years back)  is not the most conviently located from a tourist perspective, but $64 is certainly a very reasonable rate. Would you rather be closer to Michigan Ave? If so, what would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?

 

Let us know what you decide or if we can be of any further assistance.

Thank you for the information! As part of plans include going to Millennial Park, State Street and over to Hammond with minimal driving in mind. The max budget is about $85 per night. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

If MP and State Street are primary sights, then the potential W would be fine. 

 

I'm seeing on HOTWIRE:

 

4* Theater District - Loop for $65.00
Pet Friendly
Boutique
Smoke Free
Fitness
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf
Spa
==>  The W City Center would be my best guess in this case as well (it has been previously seen with this amenity set) plus if you use the Hotwire promotion in my signature that takes $15 off - making this $57.50 a night before taxes/fees.

 

Two other nearby options I'll highlight:

 

PRICELINE EXPRESS (please confirm the correct dates of travel are showing on the detail page after clicking the link below.)

 

4.5* Chicago Loop - Grant Park for $84
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Free Internet
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

>>>Best guess here would be the Hyatt Centric Loop. Newer property with a slightly better location.
 

3.5* Chicago Loop - Grant Park for $87
Free Breakfast
Pets Allowed
Fitness Center
Business Center
Restaurant
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
Free Internet
>>>This would be a possible match for the Residence Inn Loop, which is a fairly new Residence Inn. Free breakfast and larger room. Listing has a 9+ customer rating showing.

 

The potential W for $57 and change would be a super reasonable option for a 4* property. If you are looking for a newer/higher rated hotel, the potential Hyatt Centric would be an option. If breakfast and a larger room would be of interest, the potential Residence would be an option.

 

Let us know what you decide or if we can be of any further assistance.

Thank you for all the help this will be the 1st trip to Chicago. Parking is going to be the trouble I think!

Shouldn't be a factor in your hotel decision, imo.  You  know it's going to cost you regardless, so just choose a public lot separate from your hotel as it will be cheaper than parking with the hotel itself.

You can park in one of the city lots at Grant Park or Millennium Park. http://www.millenniumgarages.com/rates/. It's really not very far from these lots to the hotels mentioned above and you can go to Millennium Park while you're over by it at one of these lots.

 

Let us know if you have any city or hotel questions and thank you for keeping us updated on what you decide.
