Hi everyone, just wanted to post the results: I did indeed win the Chicago Hyatt Regency at $115/night. Thanks again for all your help! If there are additional questions I can answer on the win, just let me know.
Hi, thanks for your help, you're right--I needed to take the extra step of "buy now" to see the full amenities. In any case, this does look like a match for the Hyatt Regency. I'll probably sleep on this, book tomorrow, and post the results here. Thanks for your help!
I have updated the information on the previous thread, and I can confirm that those are the amenities listed for this property.
Hi, I edited the earlier post from New Haven to reflect what I went with. If you have any thoughts on this current thread, I'd very much appreciate it.

Suite
Smoke Free Rooms
Pool(s)
Business Center
Laundry Facilities (self-service)
High-Speed Internet Access

Hi everyone,
I used the links here to search Hotwire for an upcoming trip to Chicago from 7/17-7/19. I found a hotel listed for $113 a night in the downtown/Millennium/Grant Park area. The amenities include the following:
Smoke Free Rooms Guest
Fitness Center
Restaurant(s)
Business Center
Laundry Facilities (self-service)
High-Speed Internet Access
Spa Services
Accessible path of travel
In-room accessibility
While this isn't a perfect match for the Hyatt Regency, that's the only 4* hotel listed in this area that includes a spa.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
OK, I committed today, got the Hard Rock Hotel! Really stoked about this! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for the help! I'm going to sleep on this, maybe make a decision on it by the end of the week. I'll let you know what I decide. Thanks again!
Hey everybody,
I'll be going to Chicago to do some research in February, and I was hoping to get some help IDing this 4* hotel in the loop/theater district with the following amenities:
Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Roll-in shower. Recommended by 90% of users. $90/night.
The dates I will be staying are 2/23-2/28.
My guess was either the Hard Rock or the Palmer House Hilton.
Thanks for your help!
Still trying to find a place in New Haven in the downtown area (tried Priceline for two days, couldn't get any deal for under $100).

The Hotwire CT guide lists La Quinta Inn as the only 2 1/2* hotel. But, if that's the case, I can get that hotel cheaper through Priceline. Any thoughts on if this is La Quinta? (I'm trying to get something closer to downtown.)
Check-in date: Tue, Jun 26

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a hotel around ~$100/night near Yale, and Hotwire has a 3* listed with the following amenities: Free Parking, Complimentary Breakfast, Suite, Smoke Free Rooms, Pool(s)
Only 60% of Hotwire customers recommend it, but it would only be for 1 night.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I booked this morning, and it was indeed the Millennium Gloucester. I am very pleased with this! The hotel is in a great location, and the price fits my budget. It has great reviews as well!
Thanks for your help!
The amenities aren't overwhelming, but they're good enough I suppose:
"4-star Hotel in Kensington - Earls Court
This Hotel features the following amenities:
Fitness Center
Guests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.
Restaurant(s)
Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.
Laundry Facilities (self-service)
<amenity names only please... not descriptions>
High-Speed Internet Access
Guestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply."
It has a 90% recommendation from other Hotwire users (or so it says!).
Quick update: I played around with some low-bids (below $200) for a 5* in Soho, the city, and a few surrounding zones--no luck.
I did check Hotwire for a 4* in the Kensington-Earl's Court area and found one going for $162, which is the perfect price. The slashed out price is $221, and looking at hotels.com I see the Best Western in the area is $221. I would be very pleased if I got that hotel for $162 (the location is great). I guess I'll sleep on it, but do you think the odds are pretty good that the hotel on hotwire is the Best Western?
I would be willing to pay a little more for a 5*--and $220 a night doesn't seem like much more, but I am trying to keep it $200 or under. I suppose there are other factors to consider as well (Internet, breakfast--if those were included in a 5* but not a 4, then I think I can go slightly more).
So I guess the "all-in" price could be slightly more if the area/hotel is worth it, but ideally I'd like something under $200. Should I try bidding at the +/- $200 range for the Soho area, or are there other--possibly more affordable--nearby areas? For example, the Bloomsbury-Mablearch region looks close enough, but would it be any less expensive than Soho?
Thanks for the help!
Welcome to BetterBidding!
Are you willing to pay more for a 5* hotel vs. a 4* hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 4* or better for this trip? (ie- did you want to first try up to your limit for a 5* hotel, then if rejected, start over and try for a 4* hotel?)
Also, if $200 is the maximum 'all-in' price, what is your maximum bid price?

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to find a hotel in the London Soho area, preferably 4 or 5 star. (I'd probably be willing to consider a three star, but I've heard they are more like two-star hotels in the US.)
I'm splitting the hotel with a friend, but I'm still on a fairly strict budget. I will be staying in London April 22-27, doing research at LSE. Ideally, I'd like to not spend more than a $100 a night per person (so a $200/night hotel), but perhaps that's a fantasy for the Soho area. I'd be willing to go a bit higher, but $225 or so is at the high end of my budget, and I'd be much more comfortable with something less expensive.
I found at 5* on Hotwire haven't tried bidding on Priceline yet. The 5* on Hotwire is doable, but, again, it's at the top of the budget. (After taxes, the total is $1419 or about $700+ per person.) Ideally, I'd like to not spend more than $500-600 per person.
I've never been to London, so the reason I'm looking at the Soho district is because it's both close to LSE, and it sounds like a pretty happening area! I'd like to be able to get my research done during the day, and be able to walk around a cool neighborhood in the evenings. If anyone has other suggestions for areas to consider please let me know. Cheers
