Priceline Hotel: Bidding Assistance - May 20-24, Chicago

Hi guys..

I'm going to Chicago with 4 other friends on May 20th, staying for 4 nights.

Now.. I am not a stranger to priceline..so I know priceline only guarantees a room for 2. So here are my questions, is it possible to get a 2-3* hotel in Chicago for roughly $50? (in that case, I would just bid for 2 rooms)

Or, has anyone ever tried to stay in any Chicago hotel (which they have from priceline) with 4 people? (well, in my case, there will be 5)

Actually, I think I prefer getting 2 rooms.. but we have a budget to work with, so if I can get a room for cheap (under 60) that would be the most ideal!

Thanks!!

Based upon the information that Latitudes provided and with current rates where they are i don't even think you're close on this one (unless you can get lucky with some hotel mis-loading their priceline/HOTWIRE rate).

You may want to try an outside of the city location that provides easy mass transit access into Chicago, which may also help your accomodating 4 people in a room. Given location would be important i would also check rates from HOTWIRE (for double and quad occupancy) as well as EasyClickTravel.

Let us know how we can help further.

Urr..

I knew it was going to be hard because it is the long-weekend in Canada..!! But there's also the big event..!

I've e-mailed a couple universities in Chicago inquiring about their guest housing.

If I get some info I will post them on here too.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks guys!

Actually, here's what I did over the weekend.. I booked the Cass hotel for Sunday night and Mon. night (since we have 5 people, I decided to just get two rooms rather than trying to fit all 5 in one) the location of the hotel is great, just a 3 blocks from Magnificant Miles. The rooms are $69 for a double and $89 for a quad.

As for Sat night, we plan to look in the suburbs..right now I am thinking of staying at Schaumburg because it's close to the Woodfield mall. But I'll also keep Evanston in mind. The La Quinta at Schaumburg is only about $58 per night.

I booked 2 rooms, a month ago, directly on the Congress Plaza hotel website, for $150/ea. The prices on hotwire at the time were much higher. I would suggest going directly to their website.

This is for Friday and Saturday 5/20-5/21.

Be aware that the drive from Schaumburg to Chicago Downtown may be greater than 1 hour (despite it being ~20 miles) due to traffic during anytime that is close to daylight. So head in and out early in the morning or late at night or you'll be sitting in traffic.
