Husker505 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 I see a lot of people getting 4* NMA area in the $100 range. I have a question that some of you veterans may be able to answer. Are your chances of winning diminished if you want 2 rooms? If you purchase the insurance? We are looking for 9/17 - 9/20, is it possibly too early to get closer to the $100 rates? Or do you think the 2 rooms and insurance could play into it? Please let me know, thanks!
AaronJB Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Please read the fine print regarding the insurance - it is mainly for larger reasons why the trip did not happen, it is not that you decided against going or didn't like the hotel.Rates do vary significantly by dates, and unfortunately, rates on these dates are quite a bit above average - based on regular rates and HOTWIRE rates, I think you may be looking at as much as $120-145 for a 4* in the NMA-River North area. There is a mid-sized convention going on during this time and another larger one on the 20th, so that may be causing some boost to rates.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Husker505 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Posted August 26, 2011 Just a quick update here, I am still bidding each day in the NMA area and 4*, 3.5*, and 3* now and am trying to stick in the $105, $110, and $115 range. Nothing yet......
AaronJB Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Sorry to hear that your bids haven't been accepted. Unfortunately, rates remain high on these dates. Please let us know what you decide and if you have further questions.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Husker505 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Posted September 6, 2011 Tried again tonight, its getting down to crunch time for out trip. went up to $148 with NMA, Grant and Milen Park, Lincoln Park, and now have added Greater Chicago. 4, 3,5, and 3 stars. No luck.... hopefully there will be some give soon, i really wanted to stay below the 150 mark......
AaronJB Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 I would not recommend adding Greater Chicago; you could really wind up in an outlying area where there's not much around. Are you driving in or flying in?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
