foxo Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Started at $85 from the PRICELINE link of the site for NMA-River North. Went up to $115 without any success.Started again at $120 from the PRICELINE link of the site for Millenium-Loop-Grant Park. Went up to $185 without any success.Started again at $187 from the PRICELINE link of the site for both NMA-River North and Millenium-Loop-Grant Park, got the Sutton Place.After tax the total comes to $224.56, which is about $50 cheaper than other booking websites and most of the websites do not offer any room at this point. Apparently, Chicago will be very busy for the upcoming weekend. But I am still surprised that it cost so much for a one-night stay. I am just wondering for bidding NMA-River North and Millenium-Loop-Grant Park together, should I started with a price lower than $185 or should I increase a little bit.I thought if I bid $185 again, I will not get anything from the Millenium-Loop-Grant Park. Meanwhile, I might pay way more for a property in NMA-River North. Perhaps, I have overly paid for this property. Just want to figure out what I should do if I end up with similar situation next time.Nevertheless, I can not do anything about the price for this stay. According to the reviews from tripadviosr, this property seems to be quite nice. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Congratulations on your success!While more than you originally expected to pay, glad to see you were able to get a win and saved some money, given the tight demand. Usually when bidding two separate zones which are acceptable you would bid ZoneA from $90-$120, then start over with ZoneB from $90-$120, then start over with both ZoneA and ZoneB and bid from $125 up to $155. (the numbers are fictitious and just for examples so you can see the parallels between the two bidding zones and then when combining the zones). Feel free to ask for help before bidding for your next hotel room.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
