Sept 7-10, 2006 $90/night x 3 nights = $270.00 + $44.98 (tax & fees) = $314.98 Bid History: $53, $55, $57, $59, $61 -24 hour shutout- $65, $70, $75, $80, $85 -24 hour shutout- $90 Kind of high price for Calgary, but large surgery convention at Hyatt during same dates may be affecting vacancy rate predictions at 4* properties. Rates at Westin.com, Travelocity"]Travelocity, Expedia, Hotels.com all at about $172/night for same dates.

Amenities: Restaurant, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business Had bid on Priceline upto $116 for North Michigan Ave/River North area and Millennium Park/Loop/Grant Park area unsuccessfully, so I bought this Hotwire product instead. Prices higher than usual due to large convention in town during these dates (American College of Surgeons). Hilton/Travelocity"]Travelocity/Expedia websites best price for same dates: $349/night. Orbitz: No availability.

Pre-purchase property identification was a piece of cake....Hotwire offered the same property with same description and amenities in thier "package" section, with the property name completely revealed.

Started at $32 and used three free re-bids ($34, $36, $38 ) which where all rejected. Waited 72 hours and started from scratch bidding at $40 for only an airport zone three star property. Offered a free no-change bid if I added $12 to the previous offer. Instead I used a free add-a-zone re-bid at $42 which was accepted.
