Priceline Hotel: Advice please - Chicago 6/21 - 6/23

[Bidding4gravity]

Hi there,

Need a hotel in Chicago for June 21 - 23. Ideally pretty central - so anywhere around Grant Park, Millennium Mile, Downtown, etc.

Any tips of bidding strategy or likely win prices?

Thanks

What would be your desired star rating/max bid?

Minimum 3 star - ideally 3 1/2 or 4 star.

Was hoping to bring it in at under $180 a night - but looks like an expensive weekeend

We are going the 20th to the 23rd. I tried all last week, all the way up $200, and no luck. (Three star and up). We ended up booking a hotel downtown on Expedia for over $315 a night taxes in. Ii am hoping to snag something a few days before and cancel the Expedia room. I nave never had a problem getting a room downtown in the past, four star for $100 or less. We picked a bad time to go I guess. Pride rest is on, and the Hyatt has two conferences on. Supply and demand. Good luck.
