jnsong Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Hi I want to book a hotel from May 21-23. There will be three of us, the prices on hotwire are quite expensive now (on average=200 above 3*).I am quite new to HOTWIRE, should I book it now or wait till April to book the hotel for late May? Any suggestions? Thanks!
slruud Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 HOTWIRE also has a 4* in North Michigan Avenue-Water Tower-Gold Coast area for $165/nite for above dates.
jnsong Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Slruud, I did not see the hotel you searched. Maybe because I put three persons in one room? Any suggestion whether I should book it around $200/night or wait till next month to book it?Thanks.
AaronJB Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)The PRICELINE FAQ provides a detailed discussion of purchase timing. This is generally a very busy season and three adults in one room is going to add to the cost. What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? Are you driving or flying in?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
jnsong Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Aaron, I am flying in and my desired stay would be $150/night(pre-tax).
thereuare Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 ...should I book it now or wait till April to book the hotel for late May?What would you book, as everything appears to be over your budget... or would you increase your budget?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

slruud Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Slruud, I did not see the hotel you searched. Maybe because I put three persons in one room? Any suggestion whether I should book it around $200/night or wait till next month to book it?My mistake...I could have sworn I put in 3 persons.
slruud Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 If you're willing to book on Hotwire for $200+, why not book the James Hotel on Lastminutetravel.com for $199/nite for 3 adults. It's cancelable up to three days before, and you can keep looking at Hotwire, Expedia, and others.Or you could book the same hotel for 2 people for $164/nite, select 2 people/2 beds, now you have enough beds, and just don't tell them there's a 3rd person. If the previous is against board policy, please feel free to delete.
jnsong Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks slruud, I will look at the hotel you recommend!Thanks.
