Need Help Bidding on a Four Star Hotel near Wacker Drive -- Have a Meeting I'm attending and need a good deal-- Most willing to spend is 110.00

[AaronJB]

It seems like a rather busy time in the city, so you may have to bid to your max, and maybe split your time (bid for the length of your stay in two different chunks, which may mean moving hotels)

[thereuare]

Just to confirm... this is a 10 nite stay?

You may have difficulty getting a continuous 10 nite stay accepted... as AaronJB suggested, is SPLITTING YOUR BID an option?

Are you also open to the Loop zone?

[mmethvin]

I'm sorry -- 09-23 - 10-1

8 nights

Would like to be near wacker drive -- meeting at the sheraton chicago hotel and tower -- How is the loews house of blues hotel

[mmethvin]

Magnificent Mile - Wacker Drive (Downtown Areas) - See map

Selected amenities include:Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Laundry Facilities (self-service).

$154 per room

per night

i got this from priceline-- what hotel do you think it is

[thereuare]

I'm assuming that's on Hotwire... what is the star rating?

[mmethvin]

3 star hotel

Yes off of hotwire

[thereuare]

It's a match for the Club Quarters so that would be our best guess (there are two in Chicago so make sure you're looking at the one in this zone, which i believe is officially titled "Club Quarters Wacker at Michigan").

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

If you go on Hotwire for 9-25 to 10-1 for *1 ADULT OCCUPANCY, NOT 2* then you will get a **** for $118 per night. 4 star, loop area, fitness/business/hi-speed internet. This would likely - no guarantees - be the Hard Rock Hotel. *******If you search for 2 adult occupancy, a higher price will come up for these dates.

If you are a new customer, try to use the GIFTCARD06 promo code for this portion of your trip.

THEN:

For 9-23 to 9-25, try Priceline 4* River North/NMA or the Loop area for $100, NMA botique for $95? Maybe 3 star North Michigan Ave/River North for $80-85?

OR:

Go to Hotwire again and search for 9/23-9/24 - AGAIN, for only ONE ADULT STAYING. What *appears* to be the same hotel - . 4 star, loop area, fitness/business/hi-speed internet. - comes up for $100 for that night. This again, would likely (no guarantees) be the Hard Rock. Again, if you search for 2 adults, the price will be higher. Combine this date with the above dates, then search for something else 9/24-9/25 (this same hotel comes up for $152 on 9/24-9/25 on Hotwire.)

So, again:

Either follow the first portion for 9/25-10/1 and get something else for 9/23-9/25

OR:

Follow the first portion for 9/25-10/1, then book 9/23-24 using the instructions, where it should come up as around $100. Then either book what *appears* to be the same hotel on 9/24-9/25 on hotwire separately for $152), or book something cheaper for that night. If you search for 9-23/9-25, this hotel just comes up for around $150. You have to search separately for the two dates to see it at around $100 for 9/23-9/24.

It's all pretty complicated (******and NO guarantees that it works!*******), but I sat and worked on this for a whiiiile and it seems like the cheapest way to get a pretty nice hotel.

Whatever you decide, please click through this site's links to Hotwire to help them.

[AaronJB]
