No status at any. The Hilton prepaid rate is +$15/nt, but the extra room will be a plus as we'll be bringing our toddler.
Any thoughts? I've been pretty happy before at the IC, but alas no points or stay credit on the IC F&F rate
P.S. Looks like I might be able to priceline the Hyatt McCormick @ $65, but I don't think the location is all that great for a leisure weekend.
Yeah, I wouldn't stay at the Hyatt McCormick unless I were here for a convention. Certainly not with a little kid. The IC has a really neat elaborate Moorish/Roman-style tiled pool area.
I've been in all those hotels, but never stayed in any, sorry. The Fairmont might be a lot higher in price.
Hotwire (and I presume Priceline) has been giving up some really good prices lately; specify N. Mich. Ave., 4-star minimum to start. Usually better deals toward the Loop.
If your toddler likes Legos, check the Lego Store at 520 N. Michigan, 3rd floor. Also a Disney Store nearby, and a Hershey store a few blocks north.
The Aquarium's Oceanarium has just had a refurb and the Field/MSI may be good bets, too.
Sometimes there are theatrical shows of interest (incl. children's, and things like the Chinese acrobats), half-price here:
