Good Morning. glad to be here. ::)))))) we will drive from OHIO to Chicago. My plan is July2-July 10 3 adults and one 2 year old budget is around 100$/night(might be rush late bid,so could raise a bit more) hope to stay in downtown area (if could get subway or buses near to hotel to get kid naptime would be great, or is it possible just by walking distance to all spots?) i have used priceline 1 once before(other state), which led to very far suburb.:)(((( never used hotwire before. please advise best starting bid price so i can start off bidding from your link. Wish not be locked off if bidding failed a couple of times.:o) also, i would like to try hotwire which do not need bidding, correct? aslo, parking in downtown hotel would be estimate how much? i have read all threads. is there estra fee for 3 adults and 2 year old? we never stayed 4 star before, i am not sure any difference between 2 star and 4 star. my goal is to make parents happy and not wear out. a good sleep is most important. my questions are sort of stupid please be patient.
