Priceline Hotel: Chicago "Michigan/River North Zone 8" Oct 12-15 (3 Nights) - Will go as Low as 2* - HELP!

[jpersonette11]

Hi there,

I am coming to Chicago and need a hotel for 3 days.

Dates are the nights of Oct. 12th, 13th, 14th - 2012.

Price and location are more important than * rating.

Ideally, I have targeted ONLY "Zone 8: North Michigan Ave - River North Area."

Based on Priceline's hotel list, I would be willing to go as low as a 2* hotel.

I have seen some bids filled as low as $52 for the Four Points Sheraton which is a 3* hotel (in that zone)....but those dates aren't the same as these.

We have tried the $45 to $58 range, and obviously none has been accepted.

I don't have a problem waiting this out, as I most most likely will use a Hostel as my backup plan.

With being willing to drop to a 2* hotel, I'm hoping that price will also move in that direction.

I have not opened up to "Zone 7: Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area" due to certain 2 1/2* and 2* hotels being places I wouldn't stay, but there are other hotels in the category that I would. So maybe a 3* is the lowest I would target in this zone.

I am new to all this, so we would appreciate any help...

John

What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? I'd recommend against 2*/2.5* (especially 2*) downtown, as the few properties at this level are definitely mixed.
