Priceline Hotel: 3* Chicago Suburbs (Willowbrook) Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge

[billdozer]

Hello,

I'm new on here and just wanted to post my most recent success with Priceline.

My bid for $50 was accepted on the first try for a 3* in the Willowbrook area.

The going room rate on the Marriott site is $130. I have found that if you search the hotels' sites and the other "discount" sites for their best rate and then bid 40% off of that, Priceline usually accepts it.

Just my 2 cents.

Bill

Can you please add the dates of your stay to your post and i'll then add them to the topic title.

I don't think there is a blanket statement "bid xx% lower than the best price you can find". In some areas this would be a waste of time, in other areas it could result in an overbid.

Thanks.

Sure thing. The date is May 11th and I booked it about two weeks ago.
