Hotwire Hotel: 4* Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville Hotel

[KristyD]

I am running the Chicago Marathon in October and need to book 2 rooms in the MMA - Streeterville area for 2 nights (October 8-10th). Can someone help me identify the following hotel:

$189 MMA-Streeterville: amenities: fitness, pool, restaurant, business centre, hi-speed internet

Rated 4/5 on Tripadvisor

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

This is a traditionally tough period for hotels, given the marathon. Let me look around briefly to see what other options there are.

A few notes:

1. Isn't the starting line in Millennium Park? If I remember correctly, this is where it's been in years past.

2. When I search for 2 adults and 1 child on HOTWIRE, I see a different 4* in the Mag Mile/Streeterville area w/smoke-free, fitness, business, restaurant and internet for about the same price. When I look on the detail page for that listing, there is a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating, making me think this may be the Westin River North. If so, that would be a great deal.

3. The HOTWIRE hotel you mention above w/pool and other amenities has not yet been ID'd, but my guess - given the 4/5 tripadvisor rating - is that it *may* be the Wyndham, upgraded from 3.5* to 4*

4. Staying in the 'burbs would be substantially (less than 1/2 the price for a comparable hotel - $79 for a 4*, for example, versus nearly $200) cheaper (and there are some very nice hotels in the burbs and very nice burbs), but would require taking the train in.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase and searches, and please do ask any questions before booking.
