Groupon has about three options right now and was offering the Essex Inn,Lincoln and another hotel.
I have been looking at Hotels.com and there are a few that interest me but would like to be close to a train stop and near or walking distance to some attractions.
Well...a quick look reveals a number of options better than Essex. Lincoln is OK, but slightly farther north than I would have liked.
Hyatt Regency Chicago and Hyatt Magnificent Mile offer pre-paid rates in $125 - $135 range (under $450 total). Sheraton Chicago Towers and W Lakeshore from *wood, newly redone Doubletree and Embassy Suites from Hilton, Courtyard Mag Mile from Marriott, and boutique Sax and Allerton are also options.
All of the above are close to all the downtown tourist places, although maybe a bit of a walk from CTA Blue Line. Magnificent Mile is more fun at night than the Loop. Enjoy the city!
