Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Chicago Loop - Millennium Park) Hard Rock Hotel Chicago

[Melissa]

I tried bidding the 4 downtown areas yesterday in the 120-135 range for my dates, but was not successful. I did get 2 counter offers for 179 but declined them.  Hotel prices seemed to go down a little today so tried bidding again.

 

Bids: 

1. River North, 4*, 140

  got counter offer for 179; declined

2. River North, Downtown-Millenium Pk, 4*, 145--accepted

 

Going rate on PL with open prices is $225, so I feel like I got a good deal.  There were a few options for a little more than I bid on the Express site, but luckily didn't have to pursue those. :)

And just to confirm, I did use the PRICELINE links on this site for all my research and bids. :) Thanks for keeping this site going!

This is actually quite an excellent result, as the property's in a terrific location just a block or two from the river. Classic building - the Hard Rock is in the Carbon and Carbide Building, which is one of the city's biggest landmark buildings. Really nice area, with breakfast options nearby like Wildberry (http://www.wildberrycafe.com/chicago.html).  Let me know if you have any city questions at all, as I'm quite familiar with the area.

 

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Thanks for the tip, Aaron!  Wildberry does look tasty!  I will keep that in mind as I start sorting out more details for this trip. :)
