thereuare Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!Can you please go back to HOTWIRE and doublecheck the amenities associated with this property... is there also a Smoke Free icon?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

crrad Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 yes, that is the only other amenity listed, i.e. "No Smoking"
AaronJB Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 This would likely be the Tremont. While $75 seems like a reasonable price, the Tremont isn't a particularly nice hotel. I'd rather suggest the 4* in the Loop on these dates (4* fitness, pool, restaurant, internet, business) for $76, which is likely the Palmer House.In terms of staying in the Mag Mile area, rather than taking the Tremont, I'd recommend attempting to bid on PRICELINE for a 3.5* or 4* in the Mag Mile area, as I think you should be able to get a 3.5* or 4* property for in the neighborhood of $70-85, based upon the rates I'm seeing. If you do not mind staying in the Loop, the 4* HOTWIRE $76 for the potential Palmer House is a good deal - if it is the Palmer House, the full price is $219.
crrad Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 Thanks so much...I will try Priceline and let you know how I make out.
AaronJB Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 No problem. Please use the site's PRICELINE link and let us know if you have any questions.
crrad Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Posted March 27, 2009 :) Thanks so much!!! I did PRICELINE as you suggested and I got Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown - 3.5 *.....for $69 a night for 4/2/09 thru 4/5/09.Unbelievable!!!PS - How do I post this on the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins...or do you do that?
AaronJB Posted March 27, 2009 Report Posted March 27, 2009 Woah! That is a FAR, FAR better result than the Tremont! Very nice Embassy Suites property, too.Free breakfast, free evening reception and a suite for $69 - that is a GREAT deal, especially during the Spring! The best available rate on the hotel website is $229, over 3 times what you paid.To top it off, great location in the River North area. There's a subway station a block away and a grocery store (cheap snacks) across the street. Lots of restaurants in the area, too.The thread title has been edited, so this win should appear in the calendar.Enjoy your stay. :)
