ArtfulDodger Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 This is not a "win" for me as much as it is a tip (didn't know whether to post as just a topic or "win", so sorry if I broke etiquette). I booked this hotel for September 1st thru 3rd on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $158 a night. Not great, but better price for that hotel than HOTWIRE and the like. While I was checking for rates on the 3rd thru 5th, I now see the same hotel is going for $118 a night for the 3rd thru 5th (PRICELINE will always give a hint "you booked here before" and that is the only 4.5 start hotel I have booked in that zone with PE). This a great deal for this high end hotel for anyone wanting something on these dates. I almost wished I had waited now so I wouldn't have to switch hotels, but it still would have cost me about $75 more total than the Renaissance did for those two days. If you want this one, look for PRICELINE EXPRESS deals in "Chicago Loop/Grant Park" for 9/3-9/5. It's the only 4.5 star one with a review score of 9+ as of today.

Thanks, and to reiterate, the $118 is for 9/3 to 9/5 everyone. The PE deal for 9/1 to 9/3 is actually $152 as of now. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's really not that bad a walk on a nice day (or would be a super quick taxi ride) between the Renaissance and this property. Congrats on winning the Gray, as it looks like an absolutely stunning property. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment
ArtfulDodger Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yeah I agree, I checked and it's only a six minute Uber ride. I had to change hotels last year, really is not a big deal to save some money. Next week I have to transfer from Godfrey to Kinzie hotel as well (both very close to each other). Irony in this instance is had I waited until this week to book for next week, I would have gotten the Gray for $101 a night on Memorial Day weekend. Could have saved a hundred dollars even to boot. Probably should never check after booking so what I don't know won't hurt me! You can bet next year I will book airfare early and book the hotel late. Would've been much wiser in this instance.
