Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Millenium Park - The Loop - Grant Park) Hyatt Regency Chicago

i need to get a room for 3 nights starting sept 16. i would like to stay under $150 with all fees included. what neighborhoods would you recommend (would like to be 3.5 star or higher)

On PRICELINE there are basically two "downtown" areas... the NMA-River North and Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park.

The NMA zone has more restaurants and nightlife vs. the Loop zone is which closer to museums, aquarium, etc. (and also gets quiet at nite)... so it depends upon what 'attractions' it is that you're referring to in terms of which zone is better. The majority prefer the NMA zone for the nightlife, but as the Loop zone is frequently a little less expensive then the NMA zone, it is bid frequently too and will usually work fine for the average user. The Loop and NMA zones are adjacent to one another and depending upon where in the zone you are and where you're heading, it's generally a short to moderate walk between the two... if it's too far to walk you can always take the bus up/down Michigan Ave or take a short and inexpensive taxi ride.

Based upon the above let us know your thoughts in terms of which zone(s) you'd like to bid and we can take it from there. Also, what is your maximum bid amount (before taxes and fees) and are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better?
