She Rah

Arrrggh, I missed your message about the Hotel Sax, but got the Ivy Boutique Hotel for $176 through PRICELINE. I stayed at the House of Blues Hotel once probably 10 years ago, it was unique but nice. Thanks for you thoughtful suggestions, we come into town and treat her, and she gets to see the tourist side of town for a couple days, then back to the young peoples Chicago of less expensive ways to enjoy that great city.

I appreciate the help in the bidding process, I must say I am cautiously optimistic about the Ivy, haven't stayed there before, it looks nice, not on Michigan Ave which I was trying for. The location doesn't look bad, and I will remain optimistic.

Best guess for this Chicago River North property would be the Hotel Sax.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know which you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Ready to book today, location and great hotel, going to the House of Blues on Friday, some shopping and musuems on Saturday, in town to celebrate our daughter's 25th birthday, she is a pastry chef in Chicago. So good food is a must too. Leaning to Water tower locations, but a few blocks for $100 more is a consideration. Thank you for your time.

I have been to Chicago many times, been successful bidding with Priceline, but want to avoid Thompson till they get the bugs out, and stayed at Intercontinental last time on a girls trip. Hadn't considered HOTWIRE again, until stumbling upon your site. Thanks for the input, will definitely click through leads to book !

Ahhhh....yes, I have used a form of that trick, it's very effective :lol:

Thank you for your response.

Brand new here, and I have been just wandering around looking at tips, strategies, etc...

A couple of times I see posters saying they are going to try $20 trick???

So I did a search, gave me several (9) posts to scan, which I did, but can't find what the $20 trick is??

Please excuse this question, I know it's probably something you all know, but I want to know too !
