AaronJB Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)This particular date is extremely, extremely busy and I'm not sure much inventory is even available downtown - HOTWIRE is showing no availability downtown. What would be your desired budget per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

SIUsaluki Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 I would like to keep it around 150 bucks. I bid 129 in both areas and did not win.What do you think it will take?ThanksUpdate- I bid for "greater Chicago" area 2, at 109 a night. tried 3 star or better and failed.
thereuare Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 When rates get extreme such as for this nite, it becomes much more difficult to guess as what it will likely take to succeed, since you're so far away from 'typical' demand... and there may not be any discounted inventory offered to the opaque suppliers.At times such as this i think you need to look at your best options and adjust your bidding limit accordingly. What is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

SIUsaluki Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Hotwire is selling a 3 star room downtown for $322 a night. This is crazy. Any ideas?
thereuare Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Are you willing to pay $322/nite for a hotel for this trip?What are the amenities associated with the HOTWIRE property above?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

SIUsaluki Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 I really can't do anything over 200 bucks. I guess I will just start bidding a higher price.
AaronJB Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 The Hilton Garden Inn Evanston is $139 on Expedia. While still expensive and non-refundable, it is an option outside the city that is convenient to transit (the hotel is a block from both a Metra and CTA station. Hotels further out in the burbs that would not be as close to transit (you would have to have a car to get to transit) would be significantly cheaper.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
