beldwell Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I am looking for a hotel in the downtown area for 9/6-9/8. I am seeing a 4 star for $111 for a Chicago Loop/Grant Park Area (80% recommendation). The amenities are Pets Allowed Business Center Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center When I selected the hotel from the Bidding Helper Screen, the price went down to $105. Do you have any ideas what this hotel could be? Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 If you click the offer and then on the PRICELINE EXPRESS page click the 'VIEW ALL' link (you may have to first close the 'You Found a Great Price...' pop-up window on their page to see the VIEW ALL link) do you also see a Smoke Free amenity listed: 4* Chicago Loop - Grant Park (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $105/nite with: Pets Allowed Fitness Center Business Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Indoor or Outdoor Pool ==> if this is what you're seeing best guess for this one would be the Hilton Chicago 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.

AaronJB Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Just to note, the Hilton is at the South end of the Loop area. It's definitely a good choice if you need to be in town for a convention at McCormick or in the Loop (a short cab ride to much of the Loop and an easy cab ride to McCormick), but in terms of shopping/restaurants/nightlife I'd recommend being around the river or North of it. I'm very familiar with the city and happy to answer any hotel (or city) questions. If the Hilton is not of interest, let me know more about what you are looking for (area, star rating, budget and any other factors) and I would be happy to research and offer other suggestions.

beldwell Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Yikes, that is too far south. We're flying into MDW and just "hanging out" in the City. I know we'll do dinner/drinks in West Loop. Ideally, I'd like to be closer to Randolph. I was basically looking for a good value hotel. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm seeing on HOTWIRE: 4.5* HOTWIRE River North for $134.00 Free Internet Boutique Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Hi-Speed Internet Spa ==> Best guess would be the Godfrey, which is within easy walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants in River North. 3* HOTWIRE Theater District - Loop for $120.00 Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet ==> Best guess would be the Hilton Garden Inn North Loop, which is a newer HGI In the West Loop, there is: 3.5* HOTWIRE West Loop - UIC - United Center for $157.00 Free Internet Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Best guess would be the Crowne Plaza West Loop, which is near West Loop dining options, but would definitely be a trek to everything else downtown. Would any of these options be of interest?

beldwell Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I love the location of the possible Hilton Garden Inn. However, I was hoping to stay with Priceline. I have a $30 coupon on any PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 How about: 3.5* Downtown - River North (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $104/nite with: Fitness Center Business Center Restaurant No Smoking Rooms/Facilities Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool ==> Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Downtown/River North would be my best guess for this one 4.5* Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park (<-- CLICK HERE confirm your dates on the landing page) for $129/nite with: Pets Allowed Fitness Center Business Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> The Fairmont Chicago my guess here (which would be a very big savings vs. a conventionally booked room at this property for these dates) Either of the above work for your needs this trip? Please be sure to use the links above or any PRICELINE EXPRESS link on the board (and not the link in the priceline email with your coupon) to begin your purchase. Good luck, let us know what you decide or how we can be of further help.

beldwell Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I decided that the location of the 3.5 star in River North couldn't be beat for this trip. I booked via the link, and it was the Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Downtown/River North! Thanks so much for your help! I think that should be a great location for us!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Congrats on your success. Excellent win for this very nice (and well located) Courtyard in River North. Tons of restaurants right nearby - I'm very familiar with Chicago, happy to help if you have any city questions. Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
