Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Millenium-Loop-Grant Park) River Hotel

[kroger]

I have read of several Club Quarters wins, which is connected to this hotel on Wacker Drive, but I won a River Hotel room, which I haven't read of yet.

Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're happy with the results and this property works well for your needs. I remember a discussion taking place about this hotel recently but a quick search (i'm not at home at the moment so resources are limited) didn't turn up the thread i was searching for.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

This property is in the same building as the Club Quarters Wacker/Michigan (similar to how the Central Loop Hotel is in the same building as the Club Quarters Loop.) Not sure if they are separately run properties within the same building, although the pictures on Expedia in both instances (the River Hotel and the Central Loop Hotel) are the same as the CQ property in the same building, so these would appear to offer the same amenities.

This is certainly the better of the two properties in terms of location.

I think we are going to be happy with this 3.5* property. Parking is reasonable at $22/per 24 hours and free wireless internet according to their website--so less out of pocket costs than we may have had if we had won a 4* property.

I'd also recommend the Corner Bakery (a couple of doors down) if you are looking for a quick bite for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Thanks for the restaurant suggestion--we'll check it out!

I did a little research online about the River Hotel and Club Quarters on Wacker and how they are related. I read that the River Hotel opened in May 2009 with about 100 rooms on the 3rd-10th floors of the Mather Tower. Club Quarters rooms are on the upper floors high in the octagonal part of the Mather Tower.

We're currently staying at the River Hotel--it's wonderful! Better than expected. Great location, very happy with room with view of the Chicago River, pleased with amenities; staff is polite and responsive. Couldn't ask for a better experience!

Thanks, priceline!

Thanks for the follow-up... glad you're enjoy your stay.

Glad to hear you were able to get a river view room (which is a pricey upgrade at other hotels near the river) - sounds like a terrific stay. :)
