lagirlinchicago Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Hi - I am a first time user of Hotwire and am trying to book a hotel room for an upcoming trip to Chicago I am taking with my friend. I see a posting on Hotwire for 4.5-star hotel in Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville . The amenities include Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center and High-Speed Internet Access. Any idea what hotel this is???Additionally, I need to get two beds in the room as opposed to one king bed. Is there anyway to put in a special request for this or is it totally up in the air?Thanks so much for your help - I love this forum, it is so helpful!!!
Angelnot Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 A good way to get a quick background and gain confidence for bidding is to read old posts. Without even clicking on the posts it appears the Intercontinental and Conrad are coming up in Streeterville as 4.5 wins. While you can't make a special request until after you win one way to ensure more than one bed is to list 3 or 4 adults in your Hotwire search. Priceline only guarantees one bed.
lagirlinchicago Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks!I guess I didn't include all of the information. The dates of my stay is from Friday, February 13th through Monday, February 16th. The hotel also had a 4.0 out of 5.0 rating on Tripadvisor with over 320 customer reviews and was priced at $106/nightI also found two more hotels of interest on hotwire that I would love some help identifiying:1.) 4* Hotel in North Michicagn Avenue - Water Tower - Gold Coast for $89/night. The amenities included Fitness Center, Restaurants, Business Center and High-Speed Internet. There were no Tripadvisor details.2.) 4* Hotel in in Magnificent Mile - Streeterville for $92/night. The amenities included Fitness Center, Restaurants, Business Center, High-Speed Internet and Spa. The Trip Advisor is 3.5 out of 5 with over 480 customer reviews.Please let me know if you have any idea what these hotels would be and if you have any suggestions for which would be the best choice.
lagirlinchicago Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 I actually have one more hotel I would love help identifying for February 13 - February 164* Hotel in Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville for $103/night. Hotel amenities include Fitness Center, Business Center, Restaurants, High-Speed Internet Access. The trip advisor rating is 4 out of 5 with over 140 reviews. Any idea what this could be?
thereuare Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!For starters, as mentioned above, HOTWIRE guarantees enough bedding for everyone you include in your search. You can ensure two beds by searching for three or more occupancy, but note that the second 'bed' could be a pullout sofabed or a rollaway brought into the room... would this be sufficient for your stay?Also, HOTWIRE will only show one hotel at each star rating per zone, but above you've listed two different hotels at the 4* leve in the Mag Mile zone, what occupancy are you searching for to make each appear? For the other hotels above, are you searching for more than double occupancy?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

lagirlinchicago Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Posted January 27, 2009 Hi - I took your advice and searched for a room with three people to ensure there is enough beds. This pulled up 4-star hotel in Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville for $94 for the dates February 13 - February 16. The amenities include Fitness CEnter, Business Center, Restaurants and High-Speed Internet. The tripadvisor rating is 4 out of 5 stars based upon 140 plus reviews. Any idea what hotel this could be?
thereuare Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 This property looks to be a match for the Westin River North so that would be our best guess.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
