rach1248 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 I am looking for a hotel in the Chicago River North/ Downtown area. Is it possible to find a hotel for $100 a night (after taxes). Looking for 3* and above. I've placed a few bids on Priceline and they have all been rejected. What is the lowest price I could bid? Dates are 6/26/15-6/28-15 2 nights. If anyone sees any good deals or has any idea I would really appreciate it! Thank you! This site is awesome and I am so glad I found it.
AaronJB Posted June 16, 2015 Report Posted June 16, 2015 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)What bids have you made in terms of zone/star rating/max price? Rates don't seem too bad for these dates, but $100 will be difficult at the 4* level. I'm very familiar with the area - please let me know if you have any city questions. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
rach1248 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 I have bid on Priceline in all downtown areas at 3.5 stars and 4 stars amounts under $92 that have all been rejected. What is the lowest possible bid that you think I could do?

rach1248 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 Any recommendation on what I should Priceline bid for a 3.5* hotel in River North or Millennium Park areas? Thank you!

thereuare Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 PRICELINE EXPRESS has what appears to be the well reviewed Central Loop Hotel for $110/nite for your dates (Restaurant, Free Internet, Business Center, Fitness Center)... would this be of interest or would you want to bid on PRICELINE for a lower price for any 3.5* hotel in the zone? For the HOTWIRE property, i'm not seeing this on my own search for your dates, are you still seeing this on your own search? If so, please use the following method(s) and confirm if there are additional amenities associated with this offer: 1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button OR 2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...click the offeron the next page click the BOOK NOW linkin the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenitiesPlease use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

rach1248 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'm going to try to paste the HOTWIRE link for the hotel I posted above here: I am still seeing it <dead link removed> 3.5* Downtown-Millennium Park- Grant Park $111 DATES: 6/26-6/28 85% recommend Amenities Free Internet Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Accessibility Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired 4.0 out of 5.0 on Trip Advisor
thereuare Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 You can't post to HOTWIRE result offers like you tried as the link will only work on your own computer and even then will only work for about 30 minutes before they expire. Unfortunately i'm still not seeing this offer when searching for your dates and 1room/2adults/0children.
