Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Millennium-Loop-Grant Park) Hyatt Regency

[mizp]

Will be in chicago on January 2 - to January 5,2011

Read someone won a priceline bid for $59 at Chicago (Millennium-Loop-Grant Park) Hyatt Regency, $59 ... 12/3/10-12/6/10

I understand price would be differet for different period.

What would be the best strategy for bidding room at 4* @downtown chicago? If possible would like to keep budget under $70 per night (excluding tax). Or is it unrealistic? Otherwise i would be willing to downgrade to 3.5*

As always, appreciate your kind help.

The Loop and NMA zones , which both are Dowtown Chicago. Hyatt Regency would be nice but I understand we cant really handpick hotel. Love this website. Won a bid for Westin Castle hotel in Toronto for $80/nite through this website link to PRICELINE.

While there is a floor that hotels will likely not discount below, rates for these dates are cheaper across the board than December, as January is a slow period in the city. If you are looking for the least expensive rate, I'd suggest bidding $50 for a 4* in the Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park area. If that isn't accepted, I'd try again with $55 for a 4* and select both the Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park area and the NMA-River North area.

HOTWIRE is showing what would appear to be the Hyatt for $69, so my guess is that it may accept a PRICELINE bid in the $50-55 area.

If you are looking for the least expensive 4* hotel in either of these two zones, i would try the following, using the prices suggested by AaronJB above.

At the 4* level in Chicago you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.
