Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (NMA-River North) Doubletree Magnificent Mile

[ras67]

After a good deal of research I decided to go with a 3.5 star in the River North/NMA zone.

I bid $60 and got the Doubletree on my first shot, pretty much as expected.

I used your PRICELINE links to begin my bidding!

To follow up... We were thrilled with this hotel. I was a little nervous that I should have gone for a 4 star but we couldnt have been happier. The room was very spacious as was the bathroom, and everything from the room to the lobby was done with a modern and clean decor. We had no trouble checking in late at night and even were able to switch to a room with a better view the next day.

I would have slightly preferred being right ON Michigan Ave but being 2 short blocks down on Ohio which is the heart of that area was definitely good enough and I would do it again on my next trip.

Thanks!

Really glad to hear that you enjoyed the property (and hopefully you were able to get cookies at check-in), and definitely agreed - while not right on Michigan Ave, this is a nice area. There are definitely a few properties in Chicago (such as the Indigo) such as this one where, while not 4*, are very nice places and when rates are quite low, are really nice options for those who are not going to be in the room a lot. Especially glad to hear you were able to get a room w/a view, as some rooms at this property offer really nice views of the surrounding area.

This property used to be a Holiday Inn (and a really a pretty nice HI, as HI's go) a few years ago, but then was remodeled/renovated and turned into an independent property for a few years before it turned into a Doubletree.
