SanJose32 Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Very pleased with the win. I was able to use the re-bid method, which I learned from this site (thanks everyone), to gradually raise my price and eventually got the James Hotel - a 4.5 star property - even though I was bidding 4 star. The zones in which I was bidding that actually had 4 star hotels were Downtown - River North, Downtown Chicago - Millennium Park, and Chicago Loop - Grant Park. The $109 bid was going to be my last before I went with a 4.5 star River North property on Hotwire, which I thought would be either the Godfrey (which is listed at 4.0 on Priceline I think) or the James. Very happy to get the James. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Congrats on your success. $109 is a considerably good deal for this property, especially in the Spring. Eataly is about a block away and is a highly enjoyable place to browse around. Definitely let me know if you have any Chicago questions. Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
SanJose32 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for the tip on Eataly. I know of, but have not visited, the one in New York, which has gotten a lot of praise. We will definitely have to make a stop there. First thing I noted when I looked this property up on Google maps was the relatively close Giordano's location. A visit there is de rigueur for us when in Chicago. Link to comment
