Priceline Hotel: 3* Chicago North Shore (North Shore) Wyndham Glenview Suites

[BOKO2013]

I'm hoping to get a 3.5 in North Shore, zone 5, for an upcoming trip. My brother lives in Glenview, 2 miles from the Crown nearby.

It is saying $125 median, given Monday is Memorial Day, should I be bidding a tad north of the typical range? I'm thinking of starting at $50, and if it fails, I might add zone 1, though I'd far prefer to stay in 5.

There are 3 hotels I see that are within $6 of the median in 5, so I'm viewing 5 as the liklier possibility, and also my first choice anyway.

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Keep in mind that you can possibly be upgraded to 4* when bidding 3.5* - the 4*'s being the Renaissance North Shore and Westin North Shore. You may also get a different 3.5* than the CP.

I think you could even start at $45, and I'd head up by $5's.

Please let us know if you have any questions before bidding.

Started at 55, rejected, tried 62 rejected, accepted at $69

For Memorial Day week, I'll gladly take that rate. The lowest this hotel has been direct was a cancellable $96 the last time I checked.

I tried 3.5s at various price breaks you guys suggested, but I was getting rejected, and I added 3 so I would not lock myself out.

The trip dates and the zone were non-negotiable on my part.

Thanks everybody!

Congrats on your success. :)

Given rates, I'm surprised a 3.5* wasn't accepted, but a nice win for this Wyndham property and only about a mile and a half from the Crowne Plaza.

Thanks. I like Wyndham anyway, and this one does have the amenities that matter most to me.

I appreciate the tips on local places of interest.
