Could you help me identify the following:

15 January 2010 (one night)

Amenities: Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access

Price: 92 USD

No Trip Advisor classification.

Thank you,

Santillan

These amenities are common for a 4* city hotel and the Allerton Crowne Plaza, Drake, Millenium Knickerbocker, and Westin Michigan Ave have all been reported with this amenity combination so any of these would be our best guess.

I've stayed at all those except the Allerton. What is your opinion of this hotel? I prefer the Westin out of those, but what if I get the Allerton? No idea what it's like.

Otherwise, I had seen a 4.5 star for 116 USD in Streeterville which I imagine will be Intercontinental (after taxes, some 30 dollars more than the 4 star).

What to do?

The Allerton is an older property right on Michigan Ave (although the front door is on a side street); while it's been renovated in the last year or so, it's still getting somewhat mixed reviews. Personally, I'd rather take the Intercontinental for a few dollars more.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE link.

Thank you for your advice, which I followed, and I am happy to report that, again, I got the Intercontinental (of course with Hotwire via this site!!!).

Now, should I post a separate message about it?

Just in case, I mention it here:

4.5 *

Streeterville

Amenities: Restaurant(s), Fitness, Business Center, High Speed Internet

Price: 119.- (plus tax: 145.-).

Date: 15 January 2010 (one night).

I had already booked (also via this site) the Intercontinental for my first leg of the trip on 28 December, so it will be great to be at the same hotel on the way back.

Any advice re. restaurants in the area (will be travelling by myself).

Thank you so much,

Santillan :)
