streadway Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Looking to book two rooms in Chicago June 12-18th. Rooms need to be non-smoking. Searching hotwire came up with the following possibilities:North Michigan Ave/Water Tower/Gold Coat4* (4/5 travel advisor rating based on 60+ reviews)non-smokingfitnesspooldiningbusiness centerinternettennis$114 per nightMagnificent Mile Area4* (no travel advisor rating)boutiquenon-smokingfitnessdiningbusiness centerinternetany ideas which hotels these may be. I'm thinking the first may be courtyard, based on the travel advisor rating.Thanks for any help/advice.
AaronJB Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Welcome to the site.The first (NMA) hotel would likely be the Avenue, while the second (Mag Mile) property looks like a possible match for the Hotel Sax.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase, and let us know if you have any questions.
streadway Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Posted May 8, 2009 looks like I missed the possible Avenue bid, too bad. I now need three rooms for the same dates. Sticking with non-smoking properties, it looks like the possible Hotel Sax is the only 3*+ option available. Is there any likelihood that additional rooms will come available between now and June 12th.
AaronJB Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 There's no way to know for sure - if hotel traffic increases as the weather gets warmer and the economy starts to get a little better, prices could start to go higher.I see the potential Hotel Sax on HOTWIRE as $169 on these dates when I look up 3 rooms/6 adults on HOTWIRE. As a cheaper suggestion, the new Hotel Felix is $141.75 per night on these dates on Expedia.com. Use coupon code 10MAY to take $10 off per night (will likely work for $10 off per night for one of the rooms ONLY, not all 3.)Please use the site's HOTWIRE or Expedia.com links to start your purchase.
streadway Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Posted May 19, 2009 still looking...I now see a 4* Mag Mile property with the following:non-smokingfiness centerpooldiningbusiness centerinternet3.5/5 travel advisor rating based on 340+ reviewsI'm still a rookie at this but it looks like the Sheraton Towers to me. Do you see any other possibilities?PS I am traveling 6/12 to 6/18
AaronJB Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Would appear to be the Sheraton, which is one my least favorite 4* properties in that zone (although it does have some benefits - I like the location and some rooms do have nice views.This is showing for $165 (you may see a slightly different price.) I see a 4.5* in the same zone for $143 - amenities: fitness, business, internet, restaurant. That would likely be the Intercontinental, which personally I think is far preferable over the Sheraton. There's also a 4* in the NMA/Water Tower/Gold Coast area for $129, as well.In terms of the Sheraton for $165 versus the Intercontinental for $143, I'd pick the Intercontinental every time.Please use the site's HOTWIRE link to start your purchase.
