Hi! Thank you very much for a quick and such a comprehensive reply :) $64 is indeed a very good price for a 4* it seems. Are there other hotels known to come up with Hotwire with the same amenities? I have taken a look at the list given on this site, and it seems to be the only one. With the good Hotwire price taken into consideration, I feel that bidding very much more than $60 in the Loop/Grant Park would not be a very wise choice. I would however be willing to throw in a few more bucks if I could get a hotel in North Michigan Ave. I guess however this would be rather tricky, or do you have a good suggestion? I will be using Priceline UK, will this make any difference to my bidding strategy/amounts except I have to convert into
