Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Chicago (Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park) The Wit

[mfritz]

Was looking for date of 7/31-8/1 to fulfill first day of two day trip. (8/1-8/2 bid on earlier and separately, was awarded Doubletree Magnificent Mile for $72).

This is a very busy time in Chicago, Rock N Roll Half Marathon with 25,000 entrants (sold out) and right before Lollapalooza. Was going to do a Hotwire bid for a hotel that looked to be The Amalfi for $119. But thought I'd wait till a rebid chance tonight for Priceline just in case. Well, The Amalfi had disappeared from Hotwire. Could have kicked myself for not grabbing it earlier! Not to mention all Hotwire rates have now gone up again.

Anyway, decided to try Priceline again and bid as follows (through BB link of course!)

Bidding for Saturday, July 31-Sunday, August 1

3.5 nma $86

3.5 added rebid zone $94

3.5 added rebid zone $96

3.5 added rebid zone $98

3.5 added rebid zone $101

Much to my surprise and delight (I figured chances were that I'd get the Swisshotel) I was awarded a winning big for $101 at The Wit. Very pleased. Have been checking this hotel out and am excited about staying at this hotel. Love the location on State Street and close to River, plus not too far of a walk from Buckingham Fountain (around a mile) for start of Rock N Roll Half.
