Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (Millenium-Loop-Grant Park) Hilton Chicago

[flyer7]

Coming to town for GraphExpo at McCormick Pl along with 40k other attendees. Need 2 rooms. Hotwire had what was likely this hotel (or less likely, the Hyatt McCormick) at $103, and I noted a successful bid of $85 for same night.

I started with $82, and was offered instant rebid "opportunity" if bid raised by $22. Added NMA (not much chance here) and bid $85. Rejected.

Added Greater Chicago and upped to $89. Accepted.

Nicely played with the rebids. Congrats on the win (which is convenient to the conference, as well.)

May I ask an admin to change my header to reflect the actual price of $89? Being lazy late at night I copied and pasted that header, and then couldn't find where to change it after posting.

My apologies if anyone was misled.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be using your PL/HOTWIRE links in future transactions.

Thanks AaornJB for your comments here and many other useful posts.

Any suggestions for parking near Hilton? I understand Millenium Garage has up to 23 hrs for $16 that with careful planning can be inexpensive. GraphExpo has a shuttle that goes right past the Hilton ("Next stop McCormick Place") so we won't really need to drive much, if at all.

Other thoughts? TY
