Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (NMA-River North) Millenium Knickerbocker

[Msudawg]

I decided to stay another night in Chicago (see post below) but couldn't get Priceline to match the great $81 deal at the Westin.

So, I stuck with the NMA-River North area and bid $85 ... rejected.

Waited 2 days and re-bid at $91 ... rejected.

Added Skokie-Evanston and upped bid to $101 ... accepted.

I'm encouraged by the looks of the Knickerbocker's renovation, and I like the location. Has anyone stayed there recently that can vouch for it?

Thanks!

I was at the Chicago Millenium Knickerbocker for a night on 1/15. I got the room on my first try - priceline NMA at $70. Sometimes staying a single night in the middle of the week in minus 20 weather has its bidding advantages.

I had a standard room with king sized bed. I can't remember the floor or room number but it was very nice. Sheets, towels seemed luxury, the room had modern touches but the hotel felt older, grand lobby, older exterior, etc. Bar was very nice but I didn't eat at the hotel so I cannot address food quality.

Location was ok. I was 4 blocks from where I needed to be - just lucky there. If your plans include North Michigan then it is a great location. It is a block to Hancock Bldg. and close to shops on Rush St.

I would stay there again, especially for the price.
