Need help to identify the following hotels. Chicago is busy this week so trying to grab anything with a pool (for younger son).

3.5* Loop $156 restr., pool, fitness, high-speed internet, business center

3* loop $113 restr., pool, fitness, business center, laundry

3* Mag Mile - $141 restr., pool, fitness, high-speed internet, business center

3* OakBrook $70, rest, pool, fitness, business center, golf, high-speed internet, laundry

Are you still seeing all of the above hotels?

I just did a search for your dates (default 2 adults in the room) and only see a 3.5* in the Loop zone (different then the one above) for $289/nite, a 4* in the Mag Mile zone at $328/nite, and a 3* in Oak Brook for $66, but does not show a pool icon.

:) No, I don't see them now. They were available this morning.

The only one I see is the Oak Brook, Il and it's now $80. I'd like to identify that hotel - if possible.

I have been trying to get a hotel in the Oak Brook area through Priceline for the last few days too - no luck at a reasonable rate. It is Easter break and there is a Huge convention in town - maybe that's the reason.

This hotel has not yet been identified, but as a guess, the Holiday Inn seems to have all the amenities above.

I'm having trouble finding anything downtown and there's really a lot sold out in the outlying areas it seems.

Throwing out a couple of North suburbs suggestions - admittedly, regular rate, but these are near public transit (Metra Trains) headed downtown:

Staybridge Suites Glenview ($144 for a suite, staybridge.com)

Residence Inn Deerfield ($146 for a studio room, marriott.com)

The Residence Inn Deerfield is also not far from the beautiful Chicago Botanic Gardens.

Both have pools.

Additionally, there is a 3-star in the Skokie/Niles/Evanston area with a pool on Hotwire for $61. No clue what it is, but that general area would not be a far drive from downtown. I'd think it would be slightly closer than Oak Brook, but that's just me.

Thank you guys for your help. This just didn't seem to work for the dates I had planned. So, I changed the dates to 4/20 to 4/22 and I got the Downer's Grove Doubletree Suites for $52. Quite pleased with this hotel - I have stayed there before. Thank you (I will list this win as a separate post).

Got this for $52 per night. Dates: 4/20 - 4/22/06

Amenities: Suite, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business

Quite pleased - this is a really nice hotel. Had to pay full price for a hockey tournament (and I was still pleased). This rate is terrific. Thank's to this site.

By the way - based on this site's list of hotwire hotels - I thought it was the Hilton Suites or Embassy Suites (based on the following: Amenities: Suite, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business).

Forgot to mention I went through SavingsBarn.com.

Thank you again!
