AaronJB Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)My guess would be the La Quinta.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Hotel Shopper Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Posted April 15, 2012 My firt time using Priceline and was trying for a 4 star and kept raising my price. Finally went to a 3 start (or 3.5 I'm not sure) and got the Club Quarters Central Loop for $105 per night. Hoping I made the right decision because now I see they had a "small room" available and I'm hoping I'm not staying in that closet but at least in a "standard" size room. I kept debating and prices were going up for the time I want to go. Hotwire had for $119 what I think was the La Quinta with a free complimental breakfast for $119 per night. Hope I made the right choice and didn't get cheated!

AaronJB Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 It's a bit of a walk West of here, but if you want a classic Chicago breakfast at a place that's really an institution in the city, I'd suggest Lou Mitchell's (http://www.loumitchellsrestaurant.com/), which has been there for several decades. The other old-fashioned gem would be the Pittsfield Cafe (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g35805-d1025120-Reviews-Pittsfield_Cafe-Chicago_Illinois.html - that's in the Pittsfield building.) Mitchell's is cash only.Please let us know if you have any city questions.
Hotel Shopper Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Posted April 16, 2012 But was that a good deal? Should I just have continued bidding on 4 stars? Did I overbid on this 3.5 star which truly appears to be a 3 star?
thereuare Posted April 16, 2012 Report Posted April 16, 2012 You saved a little vs. conventional rates, but as you don't recall your bidding strategy it's hard to say how much better you could have done. In the future ask for help with a bidding strategy and we'll try to help you get a better deal.Please use the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future bidding, searches and travel purchases.Thanks.
