daclements Posted May 2, 2010 Report Posted May 2, 2010 Used this board to convince my wife that HOTWIRE was a good idea - we were both HOTWIRE virgins.Went for a 3* in the Magnificent Mile/Streeterville area. Ended up with the Inn of Chicago, which we were looking at earlier on Expedia. Paid $330 with HOTWIRE incl. taxes vs. $580 at Expedia, saving $250.Pretty significant. Thanks for this awesome resource.
AaronJB Posted May 3, 2010 Report Posted May 3, 2010 Congratulations on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding. Very nice discount for this well-located property, which is right off Michigan Ave. Glad to hear that Betterbidding was helpful in making your first HOTWIRE purchase! :)Can you confirm date/s of travel and price (before taxes/fees) paid per night, so that this win can appear in the site's Calendar of Wins? Thank you.Thank you for sharing your result with the board and using the site's HOTWIRE link.Enjoy your stay.
