djamish Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Tried a 4 star in Milennium Park and North Michigan ave for bids at 80 and 90 both were not accepted any tips? I want to say in the city, not sure about the area. Any help is much appreciated - thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)The National Restaurant Association show is 5/16-19 and people are going to be coming in the night before. This is one of the biggest conventions of the year and rates are high - at this point, a 4* downtown will likely cost over $200. What would be your desired max bid per night for this stay?

djamish Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 thanks for the response! Ideally under 150. I don't mind a 3.5 if its a good locations and hotel. I just saw a lot of people with success for 4* so i went with that as a starting point. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Unfortunately, I think $150 is not going to be enough for these dates, which are just quite busy.

thereuare Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 The National Restaurant Association show is 5/16-19 and people are going to be coming in the night before. This is one of the biggest conventions of the year and rates are high - at this point, a 4* downtown will likely cost over $200.Given the high rates due to the Restaurant Convention i think you're going to need to make a decision in regards to increasing your budget in order to stay downtown or commuting in from the airport or suburbs. AaronJB knows this area best and will be able to discuss your options, or perhaps has some other ideas, but i wanted to at least get you started to thinking about it as $150 or under for a downtown hotel during these dates does not seem very likely based upon current prices. If you search at MAPS and HOTELS.com (try '3 mile from Chicago,IL') you can zoom in on the map to see rates for your dates and what you're up against.

djamish Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 thanks for your help! I ended up just booking with some hotel points i had. seems like that was the best route to go. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 This would likely be a good time to use points given the very high rates for these dates.
