Hello,

I booked the hotel using your PRICELINE link.

It is the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza as guessed :)

I saved 51 USD more with the coupon of your forum, great :)

the night is 204 USD.

Thank you very much for your help.

I hope my wife will enjoy her 40th birthday in Chicago :)

I will go further to book the hotel this evening.

And I will go for this hotel in Hotwire (except if I can find the same on priceline and may be able to use the 5% discount)

3.5* HOTWIRE River North for $202.00
Free Internet
Indoor Pool
Smoke Free
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf
Blind Accessible
Deaf Accessible
Travel Accessible
Room Accessible
Bathroom Accessible
Handicapped Parking
Roll-in Shower
==> best guess here would be the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza

I don't want to take the risk to see the price increasing as 202 USD is already quite expensive for my purse :)

Thank you

Hello

You guessed perfectly the deal I found on hotwire which is :

3.5* Magnificent Mile  - Water Tower for $237.00
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
Hi-Speed Internet
==> is this the one you thought was the Doubletree as that would be my best guess too : Yes you got it.

It looks to be located close from the pier, and the shops area of the mile.

Not too far from the Chicago river for the cruise.

The other deal you found which interests me a lot is this one :

3.5* HOTWIRE River North for $202.00
Free Internet
Indoor Pool
Smoke Free
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
Laundry
Hi-Speed Internet
Golf
Blind Accessible
Deaf Accessible
Travel Accessible
Room Accessible
Bathroom Accessible
Handicapped Parking
Roll-in Shower
==> best guess here would be the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza

Price is really close from my budget and the location is cool (night pictures could be really nice in front of the hotel !)

On priceline express deal I found this deal :

3.5-Star Express Deal Hotel 

Downtown - River North Area | #2 Neighborhood in Chicago - 204 USD per night

This is the amenities :

Business Center

Restaurant

Free Internet

Indoor or Outdoor Pool

Fitness Center

No Smoking Rooms/Facilities

Can it be the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza?

Do you think I should still wait for a price decrease or book now?

With The NRA event I am unsure price will decrease.

I know it can be only a guess and nobody is able to anticipate price change.

Thank you so much for your help

Thank you Aaron for your reply.

it is bad luck for our bad schedule.

I would like to not exceed 220 usd for a 3 star hotel in millennium ou magnificent mile because of the convention context.

I would have liked not to exceed 175 usd but it won't happen.

I found an HOTWIRE a deal for a 3.5 star in magnificent mile which looks like to be doubletree.

this hotel is well located.

should I go for it?

Hello,

I am already sorry if I missed a topic regarding Bid tips.

I am looking for a 3* + hotel in the Chicago Millenium park area or magnificient mile (but I am worried to have an hotel too far on the north of the mile).

Currently, the price I found is 219 USD for a 3,5* in the magnificient mile (on hotwire).

It looks to be the doubletree.

Should I wait more time to find better price?

I am scared to wait too much and can't find an hotel at all in one this 2 area.

I read that there is a Restaurant Association conference at the time we will be in Chicago, do you know it would cause price not decreasing ?

Thank You
