This would almost certainly be the Tremont, a not-very-good hotel in a good location. I wouldn't recommend it, to be honest.

Personally, I'd much rather recommend taking your chances by bidding for a 4* in the River North/North Michigan Ave. area (if that is your desired area) on Priceline. I'd start bidding for a 4* at $70 per night for these dates. $70 may not be quite enough to be accepted, but I don't think it's far off. The worst possible 4* that could come up would be the Millennium Knickerbocker, which is still better than the Tremont.

On June 22, I won a room at the Intercontinental Chicago (4 *) on N. Michigan for $84 per nite from July 3rd to the 5th.

And I used savingsbarn.com

thanks everybody for the help!

Great win! :) Thanks for reporting it on the board. I'm happy to see a lot of people winning the Intercon, as it's an interesting, very historic hotel that will be changed quite a bit in the next few years (so see it now before they totally redo half of it.)

Happy to hear of your success (and savings!)

Thank you for sharing it with the board and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Do you recall if $84 was your first bid in this zone at the 4* level? (if not, do you remember the amount of your previously rejected bid)

Enjoy your stay.
