Hotwire Hotel: 4* Chicago (Loop) Hotel Burnham

[Kara0621]

I am looking for a hotel in Chicago for Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21. So far I have been bidding up to $125 for a 4* hotel in the North Michigan Ave. and Millenium Park and have been unsuccessful. My husband does not want to pay more that $300 for two nights, including taxes. I would be willing to try for a 3*, but I have read that not all the 3* hotels in Millenium Park are that great of have a good location.

Could you please suggest what I can do, and what a good bid for this weekend would be? Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

$300 for two nights, including taxes

How much is this per nite before taxes and fees?

Based on prices I'm seeing - at least at this point, I'm not sure under $300 total is possible for these dates.

It's about $125-$130 per night before taxes and fees.

What do you think would be a more obtainable price?

[AaronJB]

The majority of 3* and 4* properties on these dates are $300+. I would say you should start at $125 for a 4* in the River North/North Michigan Ave. area. If that isn't accepted, then I would try for $135 24 hours later.

So you have already bid up to your limit?

Well I have bid up to my preferred limit. I have to get a hotel room for these two nights, and will go a little higher if necessary. I am also willing to try for a 3*, I just don't know what a good bid for a 3* would be.

LUCKY DAY!!

I just search HOTWIRE for your dates and a 4* hotel (Boutique, Restaurant, Hi-Speed Internet, Business) is apeparing for $123/nite ($287 "all in")... best guess is that this is the Hotel Burnham and it gets great reviews (consistent with the 4.5/5.0 TA rating associated with this property)

I assume this will work for your needs?

Thank you so much for your help! Using the HOTWIRE link you provided, I was able to book the Burnham Hotel for $134 a night ($309 total for two nights including taxes). This looks like an excellent place to stay!

Better Bidding has been very helpful and I will use it next time I need to book a hotel!

[AaronJB]

$223 per night regular rate, so certainly a good deal. This hotel is a good walk from Michigan Ave, but there is also a shopping area (State St.) right by the hotel. Macy's (the legendary former flagship Marshall Fields) is right there, as is Nordstrom Rack and a few others.
