wimom Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 Hi,I'm planning a trip to Chicago for one night 2/20 with my daughter and mom. The main event will be going to American Girl Place. I checked out Hotwire and this came up.NMA area $79 a night 3.5 trip advisor customer rating with 320+ reviews4 starsfitness centerrestaurant poolbusiness centerhigh speed internetspaMag. Mile Streeterville Area $76 a night 3.5 trip advisor customer rating with 420+ reviews4 stars non smokingfitness centerpoolrestaurantbusiness center high speed internetAny guess what hotels we might be looking at?
AaronJB Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)The 4* NMA would likely be the W, while the 4* MM would likely be the Sheraton. I don't particularly like that Sheraton property, and the W is a bit of a walk to American Girl (and while I like the W chain, it's understandably not everyone's cup-of-tea.)To offer a few alternate suggestions:1. There is a 3.5* Mag Mile/Streeterville for these dates w/restaurant, internet, business and pool for $63. This would likely be the Doubletree Mag Mile, which is a little better located, is a very nice Doubletree property and, while not guaranteed via a HOTWIRE reservation, a lot of rooms at this property have a nice/decent view of the surrounding area. (plus, free cookies at check-in.)2. The Residence Inn River North is $79 on Orbitz.com, plus coupon code orbitzdeal5 takes 5% off. Excellent deal for a nice, newer RI in an excellent location.Please use the site's HOTWIRE, PRICELINE or Orbitz.com links to start your purchases and searches.
wimom Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks for the info! I ended up booking the Residence Inn River North through Orbitz. I used the Orbitz link posted in the thread above.I decided to go with the Residence Inn because I think we'll like the space and the location seems good :)I paid $89 taxes included

AaronJB Posted February 6, 2010 Report Posted February 6, 2010 Awesome deal! Glad the RI will work out well for your stay - fantastic location and at least a relatively fresh property, as the hotel is only a year or two old.Thank you for using the site's Orbitz link and enjoy your stay.
