kittrest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 I wasn't even going to try for a Saturday night checkin, but my travel companion insisted on it and it worked out rather well. My travel companion also insisted on something "nice" so I was mainly looking at 4 stars. I was waiting to see decent prices on Hotwire before bidding on Priceline. This was my first Priceline win, yesterday evening.Bidding History - all bids are for 4 starsNMA $65NMA + Midway $75NMA + Midway + Skokie $78--new bid--Loop $65Loop + Midway $70--new bid--Loop + Skokie $75 => counteroffer to add $22 moreLoop + Skokie + Midway $79 => successful!Hilton ChicagoCheck-In Date: Saturday, October 1, 2005Check-Out Date: Friday, October 7, 2005Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area720 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60605 312-922-4400Check-In Date: Sat, Oct 1, 2005Check-Out Date: Fri, Oct 7, 2005Your Offer Price: $79.00Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 6Subtotal: $474.00Taxes & Service Fees: $84.67Total Charges: $558.67Prices for Chicago Hilton on same datesHotwire - $95 (Palmer is $90)Priceline Shop & Compare - $159 (same for Palmer) Hilton.com - $143 net direct prepaidI had originally planned to bid with a Sunday night checkin (10/02) and the same checkout date, but the prices overall on Hotwire were higher for those dates, so I started bidding for a Saturday night checkin.
