Hotwire Hotel: 4* Chicago (Magnificent Mile - River North) Hotel Sax

[LovePeas]

Hello-

I have been trying several of the strategies posted to snag a deal for a two night stay 8/18 - 8/20 in downtown Chicago, but I have had no luck. Are there days or times of the day that are better to bid? Definitely want a 4*, thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding.

There is not a particular time period or day of the week that's better. The FAQ discusses purchase timing. What have you bid up to so far for this stay, and what would be your desired budget per night?

I tried bidding with the amounts suggested here. Started out at $70 then up as I added other areas. When I did both loop and river north area i started at $90 and went up with no luck.

I'm guessing a 4* bid will likely take $115-135 for these dates in the NMA-River North area, with a 4* in the Millennium Park-Loop-Grant Park area possibly taking around $95-105. I wouldn't go too high in the Loop area - Expedia has the 4* Hilton in the Loop for $135.

Please keep all posts regarding this stay within this thread - thanks.

The 4.5* is a possible match for the Intercontinental. The 4* would be a possible match for the Sax, Felix or Palomar (although one of the first two would be more likely). The 4* Loop would be a likely match for the Allegro.

Thanks for your help! I got the 4* in the MM River North and it turned out to be the Hotel Sax.

Awesome deal for this well-located boutique property in the restaurant and nightlife-heavy River North area.
