Current Travelzoo Hotel DealsFor those with families I have found dates at Springhill Suites for $99 this month which seems to be a good deal.
Current Travelzoo Hotel DealsOh how i wish those rates applied to the time we will be visitng!!
Thanks for these weekly updates.
They actually just completed another renovation in the courtyard rooms that was completed early this year. ipod docking stations and flat screens. They would be great to reserve during the summer, since the outdoor pool is located in that section.
I assume you%26#39;re referring to Pheasant Run Resort.
I am in need of a suggestion for a Park and Fly hotel that%26#39;s reasonably priced near O%26#39;Hare for an early flight out the next morning. Any good suggestions? Priceline? Hotwire?
Thanks in advance!
Priceline and Hotwire won%26#39;t give you park and fly rates. Please search for park and fly on this forum. The topic%26#39;s been covered. Also - www.parksleepfly.com
Coming to Chicago in August for a race and need to stay near Grant Park. Have been hit or miss for us in the past. Best Western was definitely a miss. Hampton Inn Majestic Theater was a hit (but no rooms available) Hotel 71 was also a hit. We don%26#39;t know anything about some of the other places like Palmer House, etc. Which ones would you avoid? We just need a clean, decent hotel that isn%26#39;t $300+ a night.
Thanks.
Avoid the Congress Plaza. The Palmer House is a nice property. Read hotel reviews in the Chicago Hotels section of this web site.
the Burnham on State and Washington is nice but the rooms are on the smaller side.
The W downtown also has rooms that are small.
Both are nice, it just depends on what you are looking for and how much time you will actually be in your room.
As long as you avoid the Congress Hotel, you should be fine.
When I read the topic title, the first thing that came to my head was the Congress Plaza. Whenever you are having a bad day, you should go read some of the reviews for this place. Good comedic relief...
I meant to add to the above lists of good hotels, that the Blackstone gets good reviews here.
I%26#39;m planning a trip to Chicago that includes a show at the Aragon ballroom. The hotel (Hotel Allegro) I%26#39;m considering is near city hall in the loop. As I%26#39;m planning on going to the show alone, is this route safe via EL train in the late evening for a female? If not, which would be a better area to stay in? TIA
You will take the CTA red line train north (towards Howard) to Lawrence. The Aragon is next to the train station. www.transitchicago.com for public transit details If you%26#39;re here for several days, a CTA visitor pass might come in handy.
From your hotel, walk east to State St and turn left to Lake St to catch the red line. Your hotel is in a safe area. As in any other major city, common sense prevails.
You%26#39;ll be riding the Red Line. The Loop area (where Hotel Allegro) is the business district, so it does clear out a bit in the evening. Something in the Mag Mile area may be a touch better (i.e. near the Grand or Chicago stops), but you should be fine at the Allegro.
All that said, the area right around the Aragon can be a touch sketchy. However, the train stops right by the theatre; again, you have to assume you won%26#39;t be the only one leaving the show so you%26#39;ll be fine.
Just keep your wits about you and take the obvious precautions as w/ any big city.
I have booked the Hotel Allegro for May 22-25 on Travelzoo. Today I noticed The Hotel Burnham is available for the same rate. I can cancel the Allego without cost. Which of the two would be most recommended by those who have stayed there? Is one location better than the other?
Hotel Allegro vs BurnhamThe Allegro is in the theater district of the loop. The area tend to get a little quiet in the evening as it%26#39;s mostly office buildings. IMO, Hotel Burnham is the better choice.
Hotel Allegro vs BurnhamI agree with Mark. The Burnham is a better choice. It%26#39;s kitty corner from Macy%26#39;s on State (formerly Marshall Field%26#39;s), which is the second largest Department Store in the world behind Harrods in London. The building itself is extremely historic and very cool. It%26#39;s closer to Michigan Avenue and all touristy attractions. Although, neither would be a bad stay. Enjoy your trip to Chicago!
For me it would depend on which room type you are considering for each. The standard rooms at the Burnham are teeny tiny. But I agree with the other posters that the location of the Burnham is better. The Allegro just completed a $40 M renovation, so all the rooms are new and fresh. The Burnham is a historic building (first skyscraper in Chicago) with better views from the rooms. I would say its a personal choice and you probably can%26#39;t go wrong with either.
Whatever you decide, make sure you sign up for the Kimpton InTouch program for a few extra perks like setting your room preferences. If you have already made your reservation, just call the hotel directly and they can apply this to your reservation. They really try to accommodate their loyal customers.
Thank you for your help. I did decide to book The Burnham. I think the location will work a little better for us.
We are coming for our 4th Bike The Drive. I have used Travelzoo a number of times with great results. The deals are great, and many times you can cancel right up to the day before you arrive. Thanks again for the information.
One last concern, is there still construction going on around The Burnham, or has that wrapped up?
Sorry to tag on another question. Is The Hotel Burnham waking distance to the Art Institute and the Cadillac Palace Theatre? Thanks!
Sorry: ';walking'; distance :-)
The Palace is about 4 blocks west of the Burnham and the Art Institute is 5 blocks SE.
Husband %26amp; I will be in town for our anniversary, and we want to choose a great hotel, probably w/ a spa on site. We%26#39;d like to be in the center of the action: clubs, shopping, restaurants. There are so many choices....Thinking Miracle Mile area or N of river? Guidance appreciated. Thanks!!
