Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (North Michigan Ave - River North) Hotel Felix Chicago

[chujustin]

I've been bidding for days and I can't seem to get a room. I just want something in the millennium park loop area or MNR. 3stars or up. I've bid up to $160 a night for 3 star. No dice.

Dates are Aug 3 to Aug 6.

Thanks

The Lollapalooza Festival takes place during this period unfortunately, making it one of the worst weekends of the year for hotels - especially 8/3-5. What would be your desired budget per night? Additionally, are you driving in or flying in?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Yeah I found that out today, haha lucky me. I'm flying in. I think I really want to stay near MNR or Millennium park, but I bid my limit up to 201. I didn't get it. I have 1 more rebid for the day. Still thinking of what to do, it kinda hurts to spend like 1k on just hotel for a weekend. Alternatively, I'm thinking of renting a car and stay further at O'hare or something, but I think it would be less fun.

HOTWIRE has what appears to be the Amalfi for $238/nite.. a little more than you have already bid, but GREAT reviews and includes breakfast (which may help justify at least part of the additional expense)

Thoughts on this property?

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