lucyleo Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Hi,This is my first time here and first time using HOTWIRE. There is a 4* hotel at Hotwire for 3/21-3/23 for $129 per night with the following amenities:Fitness centerRestaurantBusiness Center High Speed InternetAny idea which hotel(s) this could be? I would be fine with anything but the Drake, so I'm hoping to tip my odds by consulting you experts. Thanks so much for any help or input!
lucyleo Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 Now it went up to $134. Does it usually go up as the time gets closer?I fortgot to mention, this is for 1 room with 2 adults and 2 kids, 6 and 8.Thanks for any input!
thereuare Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!This amenity combination matches multiple properties in this zone (you can see them all in the Hotwire Hotel List) and one of them is The Drake, so if you're trying to avoid this property, this would probably not be a good option for you.Would a hotel in the Mag Mile zone work for your needs?

AaronJB Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Curious as to why you would want to avoid the Drake, which has long been considered one of Chicago's nicer 4*'s.
lucyleo Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 I just did it and got the Millenium Knickerbocker, which I don't know anything about - should I be bummed??
lucyleo Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Never mind - I was nervous because I thought I remember hearing some negative things about the knickerbocker, but after reading reviews on tripadvisor.com, I'm relieved because they just had a major renovation and most of the negative review were from before the renovation.FYI- it looks like a lot of people got it through priceline for a lot less, in the $75 range, so anyone interested may want to try that first.I'm still happy, because I never even knew about HOTWIRE and PRICELINE and have been paying over $300 for 4* rooms in Chicago the last few years.
history100 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 I was at the Knickerbocker in January and everything was fine. Everything seemed clean, quiet, and back to normal. I hope you have a great time!
