Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (North Michigan Ave - River North) Dana Hotel and Spa

[peafeather]

Hi, going to Chicago in July. Tentative date July 5-8. Looks like there are more rebid zones if I do 4.5* am I correct? Looks like NMA-River North is the only zone with 4.5*

Also looks like there are fewer hotels in the 4.5* category. Do you think I should start first bid at $110 or are price higher at that time of the year?

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

There are not many hotels at all at the 4.5* level. $110 is worth trying at the 4.5* level but may fall a tad short (I think you're probably looking at more $120-135), but I think if you are okay with any of the 4* properties in the zone, you could likely land a 4* in the River North/NMA area around $85-95, although you could start at $70-75 and work higher by $5's.)

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

Thanks

Rebid zones for 4* in NMA-River N are 1,2,3,4,5,6,11 - is this correct?

[AaronJB]

Please confirm the names of the zones rather than using the #'s - thanks.
