PRICELINE, would not help at all. They said that they are sorry, they will send me a coupon for $10.00 off my next booking on Priceline. so, thank you for the information on the Hampton Inn. It also includes free breakfast. The Holiday Inn downtown, also has a free hot breakfast buffett, and when you have teenagers, trust me, it is a big benefit! I called my credit card company and they have removed the charge. They are disputing everything with Priceline. I realize it is not overwith, and I am sure I am not the first person to dispute a charge with Priceline. But, it is within 48 hours that I have tried to cancel so that I can re-book with someone else. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks again!

The Allerton said that I would be guaranteed 2 rooms with 2 double beds for $30.00 per room per night......... I am going to call Priceline again in the morning. Maybe they will work with me. I will give them the chance. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks for the tips.

February 19, 2009 - Thursday thru February 22, 2009 - Sunday On Magnificent Mile 3.5 Star The Allerton Hotel Petite Room with only 1 double bed in each room 2 Rooms Total price for both rooms, 3 nights is :$461.06 The accepted bid price was: $65.00 a night I called the hotel and the parking rate for that hotel is an additional $51.00 per night. I do not know what to do next Thanks. Sorry about confusion. Like I said, I am new to the board.

Hello: I am new to the board. (obviously) I tried for the first time to book two rooms in Chicago, for training seminars. I have a total of 7 people, 4 adults, 3 kids (16, 17 yr olds). I really needed two rooms with TWO double beds each. The great news is, I got a 3.5 star room for a great bid of $65.00 on Michigan Avenue!!! The place looks FABULOUS! However, the rooms are the smallest room they have, a Petite room, with only ONE DOUBLE bed per room!. While I was going thru the process on Priceline, I did not see anywhere that it asked how many beds, or how many people. I simply cannot afford to pay much more for a room and I don't know what to do. We obviously will not all fit in these two rooms! And, I called the Hotel, they said they would upgrade us, for an additional $180!!!! I e-mailed Priceline, they have not replied within the 3-hour time limit that they said they would. I am going to call my credit card company at this point and ask if I can possibly get that charge stopped. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I really need two rooms, with two beds for three nights! Help! :)

I am new to the board. I tried for the first time to book two rooms in Chicago, for training seminars. I have a total of 7 people, 4 adults, 3 kids (16,17 year olds). I needed two rooms with two double beds each. They accepted a bid for $65.00 for a 3.5 star room, fine. But, no where on the site did it say there wasnt two double beds! The rooms I WON were the smallest room in the house with only 1 double bed. I simply cannot afford more than that since I am buying 2 rooms. I don't know what to do now, because it says no cancellations. Please, cant someone help me out? I am about to call my credit card and explain to them that I want the charges removed!
