I booked a 4.5* hotel in Chicago on the Magnificent Mile - 90% rating on Hotwire (using the Better Bidding link) and got the Westin Michigan Avenue.

Sorry for not following through and reporting the outcome. We ended up at a small B&B -nothing through PRICELINE or HOTWIRE. I can’t remember the name. It was a few blocks from Collins, so it was a much quieter neighborhood.

You'll be happy to know that I did go through the BetterBidding.com PRICELINE link to make the reservation. GO BLUE!

I just won the Blackstone on Priceline for 8/3. My winning bid was $165 + $5 bonus cash.

Yes. It's still there. I'm looking for one person for one night (8/3) and that's one of the options. Any idea what hotel it is?

I know that's a very busy night, but it's when I need to be there. I have a meeting at the Fairmont and want to spend time shopping on Michigan Avenue. I'm hoping for 4* or higher.
