Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (NMA-River North) Millenium Knickerbocker

[andrewfm]

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to Priceline / Hotwire and looking to find a 4* hotel for 2 rooms with 2 people in each for 3/25 for 1 night in downtown Chicago (i.e. North Michigan / Loop area). See a couple of options on Hotwire but not having much luck on Priceline ... can anyone offer any assistance. Willing to pay up to $100 per room.

Thanks,

Andrew.

What have you bid up to?

Hi,

So far i've bid up to roughly $80 (converting from STG on their UK site) ... didn't want to go too high before seeking advice!

Thanks,

Andrew.

When looking up 2 rooms w/2 per room on HOTWIRE for 3/25, I see a 4* in the Mag Mile/Streeterville area with the amenities: fitness/business/hi-speed internet and restaurant for $99. That would likely be the Hard Rock. I'm a little surprised that the Millennium Knickerbocker didn't come up if you bid $80 for a 4* in the River North/NMA area.

Overall, I think you're not far off. I'd bid $85 next for a 4* in either the River North/NMA area or the Millennium Park/Loop/Grant Park area if you have already bid $80 for a 4* in both of those areas and have been denied.

Hey,

Thanks for your help. Got the Knickerbocker when I bid $88 on Priceline. What's the hotel like - I'd have taken the Hard Rock but figured I'd stick with Pricline until I got up to the same level. My ideal would have been the Conrad but don't know what the success rates have been with that.

Thanks again,

Andrew.
