Hotwire Hotel: Chicago (Loop/Mag Mile/River North) 3 adults

[hubie]

As the subject states, I have used PRICELINE tons of times, but never HOTWIRE. I am considering it because this trip we have 3 adults (parents and brother) and wanted to make sure there was enough sleeping quarters. Priceline obviously does not do this and supposely HOTWIRE does. So I come to this board for advice. What's the best price I can do on a 3*+ the weekend of 6/25-6/27? If we can narrow down to a few specific hotels (i know the area well) that would be helpful. I just dont understnad how HOTWIRE works yet, I'm so brainwashed by PRICELINE:)

Thanks

No Problem, I just updated it. I never got a hotel from that bidding. It went way our of my price range (I was shocked after seeing so many good wins on here). This is becoming the same. I see people who have gotten 4* at $49 for the same area and weekend I'm going. I have been unsuccessful bidding on 4* and 3.5* on priceline up to $83 ($100 after tax per night).

I need anywhere in NMA/MagMile or Loop

Never tried hotwire but if there's a 3 person option 3* or up for less than $100 (after tax) I'm in. Thank you for your help

This would likely be the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, a HI that was renovated not that long ago. Nice property, but in a rather out-of-the-way location. It's about a 15 minute walk E to Michigan Ave.
