Jenga Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 3.5 * Mag Mile - StreetervilleEmbassy Suites Downtown Lakefront10/2 - 10/4/09$108/nightSuite, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Biz Center, High-Speed InternetI booked this using Better Bidding's HOTWIRE link, of course :) I actually assumed this would be the other Embassy Suites property, which Expedia had at $219/night. They list the ES Lakefront at $249/night, so getting it for $108 on Hotwire looks like quite a deal!The gets a "4" rating at Trip Advisor, although the comments are decidedly mixed. Still, it's a very good rate for a weekend when the rack rates where quite a bit higher. And I've never stayed at an Embassy Suites, so I'll be interested to check them out.Thank you, as always, to Better Bidding!! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Congratulations on your success!Definitely a sweet deal for this suite property. Additionally, as I've mentioned to others staying here, the Fox and Obel Market and Cafe (fox-obel.com) is a nice choice for breakfast/lunch/light dinner and it's fun to browse around the gourmet market. Fox and Obel is a block and a half East on Illinois and McClurg. Additionally, there's a very nice regular grocery (Dominicks) across the street for cheap snacks.Using the site's HOTWIRE link is greatly appreciated.Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
Jenga Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Aaron, this is near Fox & Obel? Cool, now I know where it is! (Hadn't checked a map yet.) I am triply excited! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Glad you're pleased! :) I'm not a fan of Navy Pier, but this is otherwise a really nice area of the city just East of Michigan Ave. The hotel is about a block and a half West of F & O. Link to comment
