Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Hilton Head thread (3rd request :) ) as well as your Priceline Las Vegas thread with whatever you ended up doing for each stay... then reply to this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

Ok...I did. Sorry

This would likely be the Club Quarters Loop. Nice property and a nice rate, although not the most conveniently located from a tourist perspective - a better location in the Loop for business travelers. There is VERY little going on around this hotel at night - if you are planning to be out a lot at night, I'd rather suggest spending a bit more (instead of paying for cabs to get around at night) and trying to bid in the $85-95 range to see if a 4* (or if a 4* won't accept that price, a 3.5*) in the River North-NMA area will accept.

Thanks for the advice. I will be in town on business...and will want to walk around and do things at night, shopping, Millenium Park, Navy Pier, etc.

I bid on this yesterday....thinking it would be the Hotel James...Our 4.5-star hotel suppliers include: The Leading Hotels of the World, Preferred Hotels & Resorts, and other top brands. Turns out it is the Hotel Intercontinental. The price is high because there is a big convention just leaving town around that time...and a few smaller ones going on (to which I am attending)

$175 a night June 8-11th.

Not thrilled about the Hotel Intercontinental. Can anyone say anything to make me feel better?

[AaronJB]

Congratulations on your success. :)

I don't really know where the negative reviews come from regarding this property - I thought it was quite nice, it's certainly in an awesome location, and it has a pretty fascinating history. The Intercontinental, James and Conrad have been reported to the board with this amenity set, so it could have been any of the three.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay

I have stayed at the Intercontinental before and enjoyed my stay. The hotel combines historical charm with modern luxuries and the public areas, especially the pool, are elegantly decorated. And as AaronJB noted, the location is excellent - right on Michigan Avenue a few blocks north of the Chicago River. I would definitely return to the Intercontinental.
