Welcome to Betterbidding and Happy 21st! :)

My guess for the 3.5* would be the Doubletree, while my guess for the 3* would be the Inn of Chicago. There are some slightly better and/or different options when looking at 8/16-18 separately.

Also are you suggesting that I should look at hotels for 8/16-18 and 8/18-19?

[AaronJB]

My guess for the 3.5* Loop would be the Crowne Plaza Metro (which is at the far West border of the zone) and the 3.5* Mag Mile would be a likely match for the Doubletree.

When I look at 8/16-18 only, there are less options than when I last looked, but I do see a 4* in the Loop-Theater District area for $111 (the price you see may vary slightly) w/

Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Spa, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower

Which would likely be the Palmer.

When I look at 8/18-19, I see a 4* in the same zone w/Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Accessible bathroom for $134; this may be a new amenity set for the W City Center, or possibly another variation for the Palmer or a new hotel not yet reported.

However, that averages to $118 per night, which is cheaper than any 4* option when looking for all the dates together.

I would like 2 beds or a bed and a sofa bed for my guest and I. Would you recommend booking as 2 adults and child?

Yes... and even 2 children if the price doesn't go up vs. 1 child.

Are the properties above from a search of 2adults/0chidlren or 2adults/1child? Do these still appear, and at the same (or within your budget) if searching for 2adults/1or2children?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

[whiggins16]

The search was for 2 adults/1 child

and the hotels do not appear as the same budget when searching for 2adults/2children

[thereuare]

Best guess for each:

Chicago Loop - Theater District

Palmer House Hilton

Magnificent Mile North - Water Tower

<not seeing this property when searching your dates for 2adults/1child>

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

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

[whiggins16]

Sorry about that the second hotel was suppose to be the Magnificent Mile Area - River North area

[whiggins16]

Booked the the GORGEOUS Palmer House Hilton for 138.58

8.16-8.17

[AaronJB]

Congrats on your success. :)

Very nice deal for this extremely historic property. Glad you are pleased with the result.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

Although i found a hotel for 8.16-8.17

I am still in need of a hotel for 8.17-8.19

I did a bid of $90 on Priceline, through the link provided, for the Loop area and was rejected.

Any suggestions on how I should be bidding for a 4* hotel that weekend?

[AaronJB]

Please start a new thread for the additional dates and we would be happy to assist. Unfortunately, the 17th-19th is moderately more expensive. Possibly a convention, as the air/water show is taking place during that time, but that (at least traditionally) has seemed to attract a primarily local audience and not caused much hotel traffic.
