We are going to Chicago for the first time and want to stay in a hotel in the downtown area to be in the middle of everything. I have never used Priceline or Hotwire and am not sure if it is really the deal it sounds like or if we are just better off searching hotels and purchasing it directly. Can anyone tell me about experiences they have had with these sites getting a hotel in Chicago and was it really a good deal? Any advice or input is appreciated.
