dra Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Hi all... I'm planning a stay in Chicago in August, but I really don't need a 4* as I just need somewhere to crash at the end of the day. I notice on the Hotel List that a 2* could be the Best Western Grant Park. Has anyone else seen any other 2* in Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park? Where should I begin bidding? Or is there even that much of a difference between 4* and 2* from pricing? I know I've seen you guys recommend starting at $75 and up for 4*.Thanks!
AaronJB Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)I'd generally not recommend bidding under 2.5* in either zone, but in terms of 2* in the Millennium Park/Loop/Grant Park zone, you're also looking at the Congress Hotel as a possibility (and workers at that particular property have been on strike for several years. It is apparently the longest hotel strike in US history.)If you're looking at the beginning of August, you run into the Lollapalooza Festival during the first weekend, which is one of the worst (most expensive) hotel weekends of the year. There are also a few other busy patches throughout the rest of the month. Which dates are you considering, as that will have a significant effect on prices.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
dra Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the info, that is useful to know. As you said, maybe I should stick to the 4* :)Yeah, I was looking for Aug 18-20 or maybe Aug 17-20th.
AaronJB Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Happy to help! :)What would be your desired budget per night? Would the River North-NMA area be okay or are you only looking for MP-Loop-Grant Park?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
