We have been fortunate twice now to get a fabulous rate of $75 at the Wyndham through priceline. Both times I've been very impressed with this hotel.

First, the location is fabulous. Though not directly on Michigan AVE, it's only about a block over, with a Corner bakery kitty corner, and you are positioned perfectly along the shopping areas once you do hit Mich. AVE.

The hotel itself is lovely, and clean. Feels upscale without being over the top. The rooms are more than adequate. They are not large, but definitely bigger than some of he downtown Chicago hotels.. Bedding is comfortable, and the rooms are well appointed.

There are two downsides to the hotel. 1. the parking is valet only, and is a bit more expensive as a result. Still given the great rates I've got on priceline, it has evened out to a good deal. Plus the valets have always been quick and friendly. 2. The way the hotel is set up creates an extra step when you enter as you have to use the stairs or elevator to go up a level and then you have access to the elevators that take you to your room. Not a bit deal, but when you're tried after being out, it's a bit of an extra step.

We went to Chicago for New Years and had a great time, the hotel was close and walkable distance to shops and restaurants.The staff was very friendly and they gave us a nice room according to all our requests. Overall it was a great stay.

I got a great deal at Wydham's site and their pictures looked amazing.
We called a day ahead of time and told them we were requesting early check-in and they said they would have the room ready by 11:00 am. We arrived at noon and were greeted by some snotty young woman in her early 20's who informed us that we were "lied to" and that all check-in's were at 4:00, no exceptions. I was quite taken back at her [--] attitude but didnt let her get under my skin.
We came back at 4:00 and they informed us that our room was given away and the only room was available was a handicapped room that was significantly smaller than what we booked. Not knowing what I know now, I took the room.
The room was small and not exactly upscale from what their photos portrayed at their site. The furniture was demolished and looked like it was hit by many-a-wheelchair. The bathroom was huge, but the accessible bars were loose and got in our way.
Outraged, we switched rooms the second night to what we were supposed to have and enjoyed the rest of our stay.
Other than the room snafu, it was a very good hotel.

This was my third stay in the Wyndam in 22 months, anytime we travel to Chicago, it's where we stay. Check in was super-fast, they had it all waiting for us, even though we were there earlier than the normal check-in time. Our room was spotless, and my By-Request welcome pack was waiting for me in the room. The staff, as usual, were polite and efficient, but Russell, the concierge, goes beyond that! He's an excellent concierge, and a font of knowledge for all you might want to know/do in Chicago!

The rooms are spacious, and the beds..bliss. Very comfortable. Lovely big bathrooms, with great amenity packs. Lots of towels also.

The location of the hotel is perfect, five mins from Michigan Ave, and plenty of good restaurants nearby. We had breakfast one morning in the hotel, it's lovely to sit looking out two floors up over the street, but we usually get our breakfast directly across the road in one of the Corner Bakery chain.

Staying there three times in 22 months, and will stay there in the future says it all - I don't even look for an alternative hotel at this stage, the Wyndham is perfect!
