This hotel shows as a 3* on the Priceline list. As nice as it is, I would assume the 4* is correct and the list is not updated. Can someone please confirm this? I'd like to bid this hotel for Saint Patrick's day. Thanks!

Went back to a 4* bid and was successful at $195 using the following strategy: 1. Bid 4* $160 - Loop/Grant Park - rejected 2. Priceline offered free rebid to $185 - rejected 3. Added NMA - $195 - Won the W Hotel - City Center. I used the PRICELINE link on this website for my purchase. Thanks for the help.

Yes, at this point our preference would be a 3* NMA hotel with a max bid of $150-$160. Thank you!

I guess at this point we'd prefer NMA 3* if we thought we could be sucessfull in the $150 range. if not, We'd go back to loop and raise bids to $175 with our backup plan being the HOTWIRE (Hampton) offer at $200. What would you suggest for a 3* NMA strategy with a max bid of $160? Thanks much!

I had included the loop in previously unsuccesful bids. No reason I left it out this time other than I was quickly approaching our max and began to think about a new strategy for 3* in the same zones in hopes of keeping the price under $150.

Thanks, I'll take you up on that offer. Using your price.link link I tried another time and failed with the following: 1. NMA - $155 - rejected 2. Added Lincoln - $165 - rejected 3. Added Midway - $175 - rejected I stopped there for the time being as this is approaching our maxium ($200) we'd spend on a 4* hotel. Again, we'd prefer 4* in either NMA or Grant Park/Loop. If we had too we'd go down to a 3* hotel to stay in these zones but I wasn't having much luck there either (see above). So, if you have some ideas I'd be grateful. Thanks again! Tim

Thanks!

We wanted to be in either NMA or Loop/Grant park and looked like 4* hotels (last bid rejected at $140) were going to be out of our priceline so we downgraded to a 3* (by using PRICELINE link from this site) with this strategy: 1. NMA - $85- rejected 2. Added Lincoln - $105 - Rejected Looked like Lincon Park was the only other zone without a 3* so we started over with: 1. Loop/Grant - $105 - Rejected 2. Added Lincon - $125 - Rejected We really would like to stay under $150/room and stay in NMA or Loop/Grant Park. In the past I have been able to get 4* hotels in these zones for under $100. Not the case, even with 3* on these dates. Anyone know what's going on in Chicago this weekend? Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!

We are going to Chicago on September 12 for two nights. We want a 4* hotel in either the North Michigan or Loop/Grant Park areas. I used the PRICELINE link on this site and had the following bids rejected: 1. I started with NMA $75 - Rejected 2. Added Loop/Grant $85 - Rejected 3. Added Midway $95 - Rejected 4. Added Lincoln $105 - Rejected Any other ideas? I'm assuming Lincoln has no 4* hotels but I'm not sure I can confirm that? Cann I add Skokie? the list on this site shows a 4* in that area so I'm nervous about adding that area as it's not one we want to be stuck in. Thanks!

Began with Copley Square 4* at $130, rejected Added Financial District, increased bid to $145, rejected Increased (after adding a non-4*zone) to $160, rejected Increased to $175, rejected Increased to $200 and was given the Westin Copley Place We will check in September 18 and check out September 21. Thanks!

We are planning a trip to Boston September 18-20 and would like to stay in a 4* hotel in either

When I clickon the date we want it gives me a Saturday night price of $429 before the promo price kicks in.

I think you mean $269/night?

Looking to stay at the Venetion on April 29- May 2. Since our stay includes a Snuday and Monday night I was hopeful we could get a reasonable price. Our max would be about $250/night. Could you please let me know if you think that'd be enough? Thanks!

Last week I was finally able to get a hotel! The Barclay Intercontinental. I got the hotel at a rate of $210/night with the following bids Select 4* MTW... Bid $175, rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $195, rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $205, rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Select 4* MTE... Bid $180, rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $195, rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $210, won The Barclay. Thanks again for the help!

Well, I didn't think so but I guess I must have added it by accident.

Well, still no luck. I was not able to complete the bidding however. I used Upper East and Upper West side as my two re-bid zones. Yet when I went to bid with Upper Midtown, they said I had duplicate bids. Not sure what I did wrong. At the 4* level you have two re-bid zone, as the 3* you only have one. Select 4* MTW... Bid $160, rejected, added re-bid zone Bid $175, rejected added re-bid zone... Bid $195, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Select 4* MTE... Bid $165, rejected added re-bid zone... Bid $185, rejected added re-bid zone... Bid $205, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Selected 4* UM/CPS...told me I had duplicate bids. I guess I'll wait three days, raise my bids and try again. Unless you have another idea? Thanks!

We don't want to split so I'm going to try raising the bid. I can't get on the Savings Barn website. Any idea what's wrong?

We'd probably look at booking the Ramada Time Square for $211 thru Expedia unless you have any better ideas?? Thanks!

I went up to $170 at 3* with no success. Any ideas. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the help. We got the Palmer House for $85 with the following approach: Select 4* Loop... Bid $70, if rejected add NMA zone... Bid $76, if rejected add re-bid zone1... Bid $79, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Select 4* Loop and re-bid zone2... Bid $82, if rejected add NMA zone... Bid $85 and got Palmer House Hilton. Thank you!

I think the Palmer House would be great. Or 4* in the loop would be fine too.

Thanks! I should have been able to figure that out! Thank you. I'll report back in three days!

Point well taken. I think we'd rather try another close neighborhood first, lower the star level second. Thanks!

HI, I was unsucessful and din't get too far. I wonder if the reason was I used MTE as a rebid zone in my attempt. I couldn't find another rebid zone other than Upper East Side. Anyway, i got this far (see below) and it told me they were unable to process my request because I have already made a request for the same trip. Any ideas?? Thanks so much for the help. Select 4* MTW... Bid $145, REJECTED Added Upper East side, Bid $155, REJECTED Added MTE, Bid $165, REJECTED Select 4* MTE...We were not able to process this request since our records indicate you have already made a request for this same trip
