Hi,

 

We will be in Chicago this weekend from the 15th-19th of May 2015. I'm looking at spending $200/night and all I can seem to find is a 2 star in Millenium Park on Hot.wire and a 1 star on Price.line. I imagine these are the Travelodge. We will not have a car and were looking to stay right in the action downtown.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you're not aware (or maybe this is the reason for your trip), the National Restaurant Association convention is one of the largest conventions of the year in Chicago and is taking place during these dates.

Are you willing to stay at a 1star/2star hotel for this trip?

As noted, this is one of the biggest conventions of the year and getting anything downtown is going to be difficult. If you were driving, then you could stay in the suburbs and take the Metra train in. Otherwise, if you have to stay downtown it becomes a matter of paying a fortune for the Travelodge, which I wouldn't recommend.

 

You can also use our Rate.Drop free service to get alerts on price declines, but unfortunately the way these dates are I wouldn't expect much in the way of declines (if any) and it could also go the other way (even less availability of what's left.)

I see this offer, but when i click on it i get a message that the offer is no longer available... if you're still seeing this one are you able to click-thru and get to the next booking page?

If so, how high are you willing to bid before taking the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer?

If not, how high are you willing to bid for a 2.5* hotel?

Also, please include all zones that are acceptable so that we can increase the number of bidding opportunities available.

If I search for 5/15-18 ONLY on HOTWIRE, I see a 3* in the Downtown-MP-GP area for $101 (you may see a slightly different price) with Restaurant, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry 

-- This hasn't been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'd guess the Travelodge or Congress would be possibilities.

 

I really, really would not recommend either of those properties for $200 - really kind of the definition of paying a lot for a little. I wouldn't recommend these hotels in general, but this is just a very expensive period.

 

So, that would take care of the first three nights. Unfortunately, the last night is problematic. I see what appears to be a brand new 3* hotel/hostel for $236 on Expe.dia, an upgraded Lake View room at the Swiss for $389 (which can be cancelled via Expedia), what appears to be the Allerton on HOTWIRE for $341 (not a great hotel for the money and I think the Swiss Lake View would be more hotel for the money plus the Swiss could be cancelled if a better deal came along, but the potential Allerton is an option)

 

Let me know if you have any questions before booking.
