IMCJL Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Originally bid 4* at $60 thinking I might get the Hyatt based on other postings, but was rejected up to $72 adding in River North. Added 3.5* at $55 for grins and got nothing.Logged out and immediately came back on and tried Millennium Park area again for 4* hotel at $79 and got the Palmer House. Most other travel sites have this in the $229 to $239 range for these 3 nights. Not my favorite hotel in Chicago, but also am not unhappy at all, particularly at this price during the Food Show (which I will be attending). Saved a whopping 64% or $505.00 off the prices of the other sites for the same 3 nights at this hotel which is incredible!! That savings pays for our flights from LA or dinnrs and the Cubs game on friday vs. the lowly Cardinals!! Thanks again Betterbidding for your guidance -- fantastic as always! :) Link to comment
CherylS Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 WOW that is FANTASTIC!!!!........and I'm sure our Cards will beat some Cubs butt! lolI'm currently looking for Chicago in mid July - haven't been in years. I've heard good things about the Palmer House, just curious why you said it's not your fav? Link to comment

I've heard good things about the Palmer House, just curious why you said it's not your fav?l,Hey CherylEnds up, we got a fantastic room....king bed (which is not always a sure thing here). VERY nice room, amenities are great, the front desk folks upgraded us for the 4 nights as we are celebrating our anniversary late...so we got put on the Diamond Hilton Honors Floor (20 th floor) for no extra cost. I tipped the front desk guy $60 after I went to the room and came back downstairs to thank him. He was stunned at the tip and was so appreciative. The lobby is gorgeous. In the rooms, the showers are AWESOME (tons of water from a large showerhead with endless hot, hot water--felt like I came out of a great spa! Beds are so comfortable as well. Super quiet room/floor, great thermostat. We are very happy with the hotel and the deal we got as well. Even better, the Cubs have won 7 of their last 9 games, shut out the Dodgers last night in Wrigley and are going to sweep Tony and the redbirds this weekend....can you stand it???!! Have fun and good luck with your hotel stay...! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Glad to hear you are having such a great stay, IMC! The lobby at this hotel is breathtaking; I recommend even those who aren't staying there to see it. Link to comment
