Hey Guys and Gals:<BR><BR>First, let me sincerely thank all of you for your help. You guys are every bit as great as Chowhounds - thanks again.<BR><BR>I was hoping to stay on Michigan Ave or The Magnificent Mile for under $125 per night. Sorry I was not more specific. but frankly I did not want to sound like an idiot, if that price range was not possible. That's why I just said &quot;very reasonable&quot;<BR><BR>I will try getting a price at The Westin, Hotel Monaco, and check quikbook.com. Thanks again to all.

Chuck<BR><BR>Checked Hotwire for this weekend and found 4 1/2 stars for $ 132 and 4 stars for $ 79 - both in the Loop. Likely you'll find similar deals at other sites and times but try several (including Hotel websites).

I had to check out of the W after 3 days because they were full. They got me a room at the Hampton Inn just off of the magnificent Mile.<BR><BR>Excelent hotel..very clean and the rooms were great for under $ 100/night<BR>Even had a bar and fridge in the room, and was only a block from the mile.<BR><BR>My backup plan for travelling is always know where the Hampton Inn is. They cater to business people, and are always the best bang for the buck.

I just booked a weekend at Wyndham (one block off Michigan Avenue) for $99 and it includes breakfast. Booked it on Hotel.com. We stayed at the Wyndham in the fall for about $25 more w/o breakfast. Staff was very helpful and we liked the convenient location. The gotcha? Parking = $36/day.
