kimberlyraff Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Can I get a couple tips on trying to land the Chicago Holiday Inn Mart on Hotwire for a certain date?? I need to be in the Mart for a specific event. Thanks so much for the help! =)
thereuare Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Please follow-up your previous Priceline Chicago Loop thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread, including the date(s) of your stay above.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
kimberlyraff Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Posted October 24, 2009 No problem! Dates are 11/12 to 11/14. :)
AaronJB Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 What would appear to be the HI does not show up when I look up 2 people, but when I look up 2 adults/2 children, I'm seeing a 3* in the Mag Mile/Streeterville area with the amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry for $88. That matches the amenity set previously reported with the HI. There's better options for a hotel in the city on these dates, but if you need to be at the Mart, this would be the best choice.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.
kimberlyraff Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks so much for getting that info!! I was hoping for a miracle..lol. I could stay somewhere else....I would be willing to take a short walk to get there...are you familiar with the area? What do you think of something closer under $100?
AaronJB Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Well, the HI would be $88 on HOTWIRE, although it only comes up for 4. That doesn't mean that you can't purchase it and act like those people just didn't show up.However, there's a 4* in the Mag Mile area (which could be the Hard Rock, Hyatt, Sheraton or Westin) when you search for 2 people (amenities: fitness, business, restaurant, internet) for $84. Any one of those properties would require a walk to the HI, but more hotel for the money.Given that there is a 4* in the Mag Mile/Streeterville area for $84, it's not outside the realm of possibility that you could bid on PRICELINE for $65 in either the River North/NMA area or Millennium Park/Loop/Grant Park areas on PRICELINE and possibly get a bid accepted, but the issue would be that you could possibly wind up at any of the 4*'s downtown, a number of which are a longer walk (probably the furthest away would be 30-40 minute walk, but a really nice 30-40 minute walk through the city) away.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase, and please feel free to ask any questions.
kimberlyraff Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Posted October 30, 2009 Booked The Hotel Cass 11/12-11/14 for $59 ! Works for me! Thanks to all for the help.BTW, that was 3 Star listed under "Mag Mile/Streeterville".
AaronJB Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 What were the amenities showing? Thanks.
