Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Magnificent Mile-Streeterville) Embassy Suites Lakefront

[Jenga]

3.5 * Mag Mile - Streeterville

Embassy Suites Downtown Lakefront

10/2 - 10/4/09

$108/night

Suite, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Biz Center, High-Speed Internet

I 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!!

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.

Aaron, this is near Fox & Obel? Cool, now I know where it is! (Hadn't checked a map yet.) I am triply excited!

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.
