I have also been trying to get a room on priceline for 9/1 without any luck for the past couple of weeks. I have bid up to $200 and it wasnt accepted. With Jazzfest going on the the Iowa/Northern Illinois football game at Soldier field this weekend, hotel rooms are at a premium. I also saw the EasyClickTravel rate of $150 nite for the Hilton Towers for sat nite as a request. I did try to book it last week thursday and my request came back as the hotel didnt have any vacancy. Any other suggestions on getting a room for sat nite would be greatly appreciated. I have never had a problem getting a room in Chicago in the past. Might just have to wait till the last minute and see what happens with Priceline. The only draw back to EasyClickTravel is that you have to wait up to 48 hrs to get a response on your hotel room if it is a request.
