jjrideon Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi, I'm trying to book a special anniversary trip for a night in a 5* hotel in Chicago on the 8/28. Only one option is coming up on HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS and I think it's the Trump. Unfortunately I would rather not stay there as we stayed last year. Do you think I'm correct with my guess? PRICELINE EXPRESS $213 Magnificent Mile / Gold Coast 9.0 out of 10 (or higher) Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Centre HOTWIRE - Magnificent Mile / Water Tower $213 AMENITIES: Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Spa services I've searched using the betterbidding PRICELINE / HOTWIRE links and thank you for your help!

thereuare Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Happy Anniversary Please start by following-up your previous Hotwire Chicago hotel and Beverly Hills threads with whatever you ended up doing for each of those trips, then reply here and we will have a look at your post above. Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans. Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
jjrideon Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Sorry, both those bookings didn't complete. I'll close them off now. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 If you have had any PRICELINE / HOTWIRE purchase in the 6+ years since joining the board it would be appreciated if you started to share your wins so that others can benefit from the information, just as you are hoping to benefit from those who have posted before you. For the HOTWIRE property The Trump does seem the most likely, but the Four Seasons would be a possibility as well. For the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, Langham, and Trump would all be likely candidates.

jjrideon Posted August 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks for your help. I haven't had any wins as I either booked a hotel direct or the trip was cancelled. I think I won't take the risk on this booking too as I don't want to stay in the Trump! I'll definitely add any trips I do book to the board. Thanks again. Link to comment

AaronJB Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 There's some great 4/4.5* options during these dates, as well. While not 5*, these options would also be significantly cheaper. I'll also note that Lake Geneva is a resort town about 75-90 minutes North/NW of Chicago, with some beautiful properties (Grand Geneva, for example) if you are looking for a quieter, romantic getaway option. I'm quite familiar with the area and would be happy to offer suggestions if interested.

jjrideon Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thank you for your help! I booked a room at Soho House in the end but may do an extra night somewhere else on Monday with an on the day booking. Any tips for the best strategy to book on the day through either Priceline or Hotwire? Link to comment
