Thanks, glad to be here. Your site is quite helpful.

Based on the Priceline map there doesn't appear to be _that_ much difference in location between The Loop and River North. But appearances are probably deceiving.

I suppose location is more important. I wouldn't want to find a cheap hotel and then eat up the savings in transportation costs to Palmer House.

I really don't want to pay more than $75 a night, though. Any strategy that would get me there would be much appreciated.

We'll start with the Loop since that is the zone where the Palmer House is located.

At the 3* level you have 2 re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read PRICELINE RE-BIDDING and ask any questions you have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board.

Select 3* and the Loop...

Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $45, if rejected reaccess priceline however you did previously...

Select 3* Loop and re-bid zone2...

If the above fails report back and we'll suggest a 2.5* strategy.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Thank you, thank you. The final $75 bid was accepted after following your procedure exactly.

I got the 3* Club Quarters (a good brand, stayed with them before) in The Loop, just 3 1/2 blocks from my conference hotel. The conference room rate at the Palmer House was $169. So I saved $282.
