asherg Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I've been trying for a 13-18 night stay at the end of the month and have gone as high as $81/night, 4* for N. Michigan Avenue & Millennium Park. Is it nearly impossible to get a stay that long? I can book most those nights at Crowne Plaza or Hotel 71 for $90 + tax through various travel discounter sites, so what am I doing wrong? I'm also concerned I do get an accepted bid and get slammed with $10 Internet charges per day for two weeks. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

asherg Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Posted July 6, 2011 Sorry, the LV question was 3 years ago and don't recall if we even stayed there. Looking at either 7/15-28 or 7/20-8/2 now. More than happy to use the links provided. Thanks!

asherg Posted July 6, 2011 Author Report Posted July 6, 2011 I did read the link and would prefer not to split bids. I've bid $60-81 on 4* in both zones and $55-77 3.5* in both zones. I don't even get a "we can book you at this rate" message. I can get a guaranteed booking (wholesaler) basically below winning bid prices, I just can't get the majority of my requested stay there. Hotel 71, 7/24-28Crowne Plaza, 7/17-21, 7/24-29I'd really like to keep the total cost below $100/night all in. Thanks
