Megg33k Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm looking for a 4* in the NMA-River North or Millenium-Loop area for the night of 4/4... this Friday. This is a last minute trip, and I don't want to pay $200+ for it.I hate to drop down to 3* because it seems to be such a mixed bag of quality. I mean, Marriott on Magnificent Mile vs. Holiday Inn? Since it's up for grabs, I don't want to take the chance that I overpay for a Holiday Inn. So, I'm pretty well against 3*.We'd like to keep the night under $100 before fees. I don't know if that's possible. The latest wins look like they fall on either side of $100. Any help with a bidding strategy is appreciated. I know Chicago lacks in re-bid zones... so, I'm not sure how to handle it myself.Thanks! Link to comment

Unfortunately, the pool is closed for renovations... but, I didn't intend to swim. I'm very happy with the location (2 blocks from Millenium Park). Parking fees are high... but Grant North is close.Thank you SO much for the help!!! :)~Megan Link to comment
