Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Magnificent Mile-Streeterville) Doubletree Mag Mile

[travel4life]

Hi, I'm brand new to this and never used hotwire before. Looking for a last minute deal for Chicago. There is both a 3* and 3.5* for the same price at $71.

Which one is which, and which one is better? Thanks.

The difference is the fitness center. I assume the 3.5* is the Doubletree since there is no fitness center? How would I book and pay for parking since I assume this is not included? Thank you!

The 3.5* would likely be the Doubletree, while the 3* likely the Hilton Garden.

Personally, I think the HGI is *somewhat* better located in the River North area, right next to a subway station. Otherwise, they're two fairly similar hotels - the Doubletree is nice, but 3.5* is pushing it a tad; it's more accurately a 3*.

Parking is charged at the hotel. However, I'd try to look around for lots nearby the hotel, as if you don't mind having the car not *right there* at the hotel, you can generally find a bit better deal nearby.
