July 3th to the 7th

I have been out of town and have not pulled the trigger on a reservation yet. As anything changed? Want to stay either in the Loop area or the Magnifcent Mile area.

dvdmovie1 sugested the Burham but my wife is concerned about the noise. I am not sure it will be a big deal then.

Suggestions?

July 3th to the 7th

Hotwire has a 4* in the North Michigan Ave/Water Tower/Gold Coast area for $153 that looks interesting. The amentiies are fitness/business/restaurant/pool/internet. I%26#39;m guessing this may be the Omni Hotel, not showing the ';Suite'; amenity icon. As is everything with Hotwire, non-refundable and not guaranteed.

The Hotel Sax (formerly the House of Blues) is $135 on hotels.com. That%26#39;s along the river, not too far from Michigan Ave. The nice Bin 36 restaurant and the 10 Pin bowling alley are in the same complex. The hotel has been redone, but some reviews have been pretty critical lately (and some have been very positive) saying it%26#39;s not ready yet. The price is certainly reasonable in comparison to usual rates; this would be if you wanted to try a new hotel out.

The Homewood Suites is $169. This is a very nice all-suite hotel (be sure to select a King Suite NOT a studio suite) that%26#39;s just a couple of blocks from Michigan Ave. You get a free breakfast here and a free light meal at night on M-TH. This would be non-refundable.

The Burnham%26#39;s still available.
