Need help bidding for a hotel in the downtown core for under 100 a night. I know it's last minute. Unsuccessful bids: at 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115. I added various zones without a 4 star hotel. Is there some kind of event in town that I am not aware of? Will try again tomorrow.

sorry for the typo, I didn't notice it myself. 7/30/2011 - 8/3/2011

I continued bidding, I was given the option to upgrade my bid to $125/night twice but instead I closed the browser and continued back bidding at $95-$105. But I was slowly getting impatient, it's been ~4 days of retrying, so I upped the bid from $105 to $110. And I won! I secured Hotel Felix, but after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. There are a few negative reviews, mostly due to the small size of the room. Lucky it will be only myself and my girlfriend, and we won't be planning to stay in our rooms for very much, other than sleep. But for the rest of you fellas, I am sending out a caution that if you are planning to squeeze more than 2 people into the room, wait a little while before bidding on dates I am there as this hotel will likely only accommodate 2 people to a room.

should I wait closer to the date or bid aggressively now?

Hi, I never stayed in Chicago before so I think this area is a perfect location for a newbie like myself to the city. I don't know where to start with bidding as I already tried $75 and was rejected, might it be better I wait till the date gets closer?

title says it all, am satisfied. started at $55 increased bids by $1, adding every zone that does not have a 4* rating.

bump .. uh would like to still know if I got a good deal or not .. also, black friday traffic how bad will it be? I am contemplating on driving around new york or taking the subway.

Just booked for black friday weekend .. paid $162. good deal or not? I know I am far from everything else, how long is the commute to central park by train?
