Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Millenium Park - The Loop - Grant Park) Hyatt Regency Chicago

[sam2012]

Hello,

I am not too sure about the rebid zones and hence thought of asking the experts before I make some silly mistakes. I am looking for a 4* hotel in the downtown area. I am thinking that my rebid zones can be

Franklin Park area

Hyde Park

Lincoln park

midway airport north and

skokie

Am I thinking correctly? Also during my rebids, I can just add one of the above areas one at a time and rebid, right?

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Yes, you have your re-bid zones correct, but you also have ONE more re-bid zones when bidding 4* in the Chicago area (for a total of SIX re-bid zones). See Priceline Re-Bidding Explained for the proper way to determine your re-bid zones and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your additional re-bid zones with the board.

Is the Loop the only zone you're willing to accept OR is the NMA-River North zone acceptable as well? If you confirm which zone(s) you're willing to bid and your maximum bid, we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Thanks for your reply. Well I guess NMA-River North should also work. I have no idea what is a good bid for that day.

What would be your desired max bid for the night?

seems like people are getting prices in the range of 65-90. i guess 100 would be my max.

Are you able to determine your SIXTH re-bid zone? Do you have a preference of the Loop vs. NMA?

Thank you. thats good to know.

Can you please tell me how do I go from the hotel to ohare airport? I mean is there any alternative to cabs?

[AaronJB]

From O'Hare you'd take the Blue Line CTA from the station at O'Hare to the Clark station downtown, then either walk the remainder or take a very short cab ride. I believe fare is $2.25. A cab ride from O'Hare is substantially more expensive.

thanks, so same thing from union station or my hotel (hyatt regency) to ohare? take the cta from clark staion?

[AaronJB]

Union Station is for Metra and Amtrak trains. The CTA Blue Line trains, which you can get at the Clark station are what you need to get to/from O'Hare. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark/Lake_(CTA_station)
