thljp Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 I entered 2 adults, 2 kids. Got a 3.5 star in the Loop area with: fitness, restaurant, business center, high speed internet and spa services for $109. I know the spa services are unique, but I can't find anything on the hotel list which matches it. Any thoughts?

thljp Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Posted September 18, 2009 9/19-9/21 - nothing like last minute!Can I ask you about two more to make sure I'm doing this right - same dates and count.I get a 3 star with Fitness, pool, rest, bus center and internet for $102 in the MM area. I'm thinking this is Hilton Garden Inn?? I've seen some good reviews on this hotel, especially for the location.I also get a mystery 2 star in MM for $119 with no amenties shown. Not really interested in this one, just wondering if you knew what it was.
AaronJB Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 A 2* downtown is not something I'd really recommend. It has not been ID'd yet, but I have to imagine the main possibility is probably the Hojo. If that's not what the 2* is, I can't imagine what else it could be (Red Roof? If so, wouldn't recommend that, either.)I'm seeing a different 3* Mag Mile - are you searching for more than 2 adults?
thljp Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Posted September 18, 2009 Sorry, I couldn't wait any longer. I booked the 3* with Fitness, Pool, Bus Cnt, Internet for $102 a night for the dates of 9/19-9/21. And it was Hilton Garden Inn as I researched on here. Also wanted to say that I entered 2 adults and 2 kids. When I called to confirm the reservation at the Hilton itself, they said I was confirmed for a room with 2 queen beds. Perfect! Thanks for all the work you all do to provide this site. I'll try to remember to review the hotel when I return.
AaronJB Posted September 18, 2009 Report Posted September 18, 2009 Glad you were able to get the HGI; very nice hotel, and a nice grocery store (cheap snacks) across the street. Subway station out front, as well.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.

The hotel was very clean and updated. The staff was helpful in recommending various sites, restaurants and such. There was never a wait at the front desk. I didn't use the indoor pool, but it looked nice. There is a Weber Grill Restarurant attached - great food, although a little pricey, and a nice bar area. I thought the location of the hotel was great. The Grand stop on the L's red line is right out the front door. A little grocery store in across the side street. Several restaurants nearby - Pizzaria Uno, ESPN, Rock Bottom. The only compliant I had was when I called to confirm the reservation, they said they had me down for a room with two queen beds. When I checked in they said they were giving me a room with two queen beds. However, the beds were definitely only full's. I asked someone at the front desk and she said all the rooms had queen beds. I told her ours definitely didn't, but that it was ok. I then mentioned it when we were checking out, and finally this associate said the handicap rooms only have full-sized beds in them. Now I wish I had asked early on to change rooms, but I just didn't know if queen sized meant something different to them! But overall, it was a great hotel.
AaronJB Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the review - glad you enjoyed your stay.
