Please start by following-up your previous Priceline Indianapolis thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip.  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.

 

For your Chicago stay above, have you considered the Mag Mile - Gold Coast zone as well, which i would think would still put you close enough to the shopping you're trying to achieve.

 

Will you be making this Chicago trip no matter the price, or only if you can get a hotel/star rating within the prices you have already bid?

It's been over 2 years since I was searching for Indy hotels. I have no idea what happened there. I didn't end up travelling, but may have been booking the trip for a friend or something. Sorry!

Please add this information to your previous thread to close it out... a reply of "i don't know" is better than future users reading that thread and wondering if you moved forward with any of the hotels in that thread, canceled the trip, booked a regular rate hotel, etc.
