Priceline Hotel: Bid help: Chicago 5/15-5/18

[duckfan101]

Help identifying 3.5-star hotel in Magnificent Mile Area - Streeterville

It lists as $89 with Fitness and High Speed internet access. (trying for 5/15-5/18)

Unfortunately a property with this amenity combination has not yet been reported to the board, and with the majority of hotels at this star level offering these two amenities, i don't think we'll be able to gain much insight into this one.

You mention in your Chicago Hotwire thread that you had trouble bidding on PRICELINE... have you already bid for just these three nites? (vs. the rejections for the complete 5 nite stay) How high did you bid and for what star rating?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Attempting to score a bid under $100 for 5/15-5/18

Would prefer the highest star possible for this amount. (am willing to go a touch higher if that means I can score a 4*)

I have tried bids over the past few days for 4* and 3.5* up to $80 and failed. Needs to be in either Loop or River North.

I'm also okay to lowball it with a 2.0*-2.5* in this area for a considerable decrease in price. I have also tried this (around $60-65 bids) with no luck.

Must be a busy weekend. :-(

Thanks! This site is awesome and I have already suggested it so several friends who book hotels. I continue to use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links provided on the site.

Can you please confirm the amenities of your Hotwire Hotel purchase as i think you posted the amenities of the property above and not the hotel you actually purchased.

I don't think you're too far off for a 4* hotel... have you already bid for a 4* in both the Loop and NMA zones? If not, have you bid both zones (or just one) and how high have you bid?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
