newbee Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Can anyone suggest how I can bid a room in Chicago Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area or North Michigan Ave - River North Area for 2 adults and 2 children(ages 6 & 10). I don't care how small the room is, but I need at least 2 queen beds or 1 queen and 1 pull-out sofa. Is it possible to bid with that in mind? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 There is no way to guarantee more than one bed when bidding. HOTWIRE - where you can indicate the amount of people in the party - is a better choice in this case as it should guarantee some form of bedding (2, 1 + sofa or 1 + rollaway) for the party.If you search for your date/s on HOTWIRE, are there any listings in your desired budget? If so, please provide the complete details of the listing (full list of amenities, date/s, price and zone.)Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

newbee Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I used the HOTWIRE link and found a great deal for 7/18-7/22 so I pounced. Ended up with Hotel 71 at $146/night for 1 room for 2 adults and 2 children. I am very pleased with that price. I know I could've gotten a better deal on priceline but I needed beds for 4 people for this trip. I appreciate your help, thanks! Link to comment
