I was looking at some of the express deals and noticed the majority of one-bed options. What do families typically do? It seems that name your price would not be a good option this trip. It seems like our best option might be to do a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal where you choose your bed. What areas do you recommend?
Two adults/two kids. We've always been successful just renting one room, although I know that Priceline only guarantees space for two.
I'm hoping to max out at about $150/night, less would be great. 3* or higher. My kids would like a pool.
We're visiting Philadelphia from June 22-26. Flying into PHL. I'm not sure whether we should rent a car. If we don't, which areas should we try to stay in? I read their subway system is pretty extensive. We'd like to do the traditional touristy things. Thank you!

I've been trying to book a room for my husband's business trip for about a month. I haven't been bidding down to 3 stars, but the last 2 nights I've tried it as we're getting a bit desperate. This is the highest dollar amount I've bid. My one prior bid tonight was 3.5 star / $120 and was declined.
Last year, he went to the same conference and we paid less than $100 and got the Intercontinental. Prices are just higher all around this year. Maybe the holiday?
Anyways, I'm glad we finally got something.
Bid $85 4* and got the Intercontinental 4.5*. Used the betterbidding [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link.
Happy with the win. Thanks for providing all of the helpful info!
Not disappointed, necessarily. It's got good reviews - I'll post an update when we get home :)
Bid $40 for a 2 1/2 star because I was hoping to get the Holiday Inn Express we stayed at before. Got this one instead.

Nice hotel. Had a pool, served breakfast.
Just noticed the new-to-me hotel win entry form!
I don't think this one is on your hotel list :) It was a nice clean hotel, seemed recently upgraded or newer. Would definitely stay at again.

Bid up to $35 Monday, might have been able to get this a few bucks cheaper, but added Schaumberg last (after Arlington Heights ($36, $38) then added Schaumberg and bid $40.
I'm having the same issue - tried several for this Saturday night - no takers up to $35. I'll try again tomorrow!

We've stayed here before and it's a really nice place - especially for $32/night!
My daughter (age 2.5) and I took the Megabus from Detroit to Chicago and would definitely recommend it - especially over Amtrak. It was on time and clean.
Using the PRICELINE link -
I've been bidding for the last several days, anywhere from $45-$50 and have been declined. Today, I bid $52 and was accepted. I was hoping not to get the Holiday Inn due to the reviews, but what can you do? At least they have free parking!

We first bid $35 for a 3* then 2.5* and were declined. We then bid $40 for a 3* and then a 2.5* and were accepted.
Looking back, we should have tried the 2.5 star first b/c it doesn't seem like Dublin has a 3*.

We stayed at both of the Hyatt Regencies this past week - Union Station and Riverfront.
The rooms at both were comparable, although US is a 4* and Riv a 3*.
Riverfront was nice b/c it is right across the street from the Arch and a few blocks from the ballpark. Parking was $16 for self-park with in and out privileges. The parking is below the hotel, so there was no walking involved. The room was nice, a pretty standard hotel room. There aren't a whole lot of restaurants in the immediate area. Expect to walk a few blocks to eat. We didn't try out the hotel's restaurant.
Union Station was a neat place to stay. As noted above, it's located in a restored train station. The mall is ok - your standard food court and small specialty shops. Most everything you'd want to do is a walk or a metro train ride away. The metro is right behind the hotel/mall, so that's really convenient. Parking was $14 for self parking. There are two lots. Pick the one off of 20th street. It's a much shorter walk.
First bid of $59 was accepted.

Self Parking was $16. Try to park on the street outside of the front entrance to unload and check in (metered). Then park off of the 20th street entrance to the mall. It's a much shorted walk than parking in the back of the hotel off of 18th street.
Thanks for this website :) Go Blue!
