Midwest_Traveler Posted May 19, 2008 Report Posted May 19, 2008 I've bid up to $75 for a 4* at Chicago O'hare Aiport (ORD) with no luck for the dates 5/25-5/31.

Midwest_Traveler Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Posted May 19, 2008 My family is in the area. HOTWIRE has a 3* for $99 and 4* for $129. That's my max. I'm going to try the 3* next.Based on Hotwire prices, 4* is available 5/25-5/29 at $75-9/night, and at $140-180 for 5/29-5/31. So, it looks like the Thursday and Friday nights are the problem. I'll have to think about this. Thanks for the head-up.Looks like Chicago Gospel Fest is on May 30-June 1. The hotels must be saving all the rooms for the festival.Yes, I'm using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on your site!

Midwest_Traveler Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Posted May 20, 2008 Got the O'hare Hilton off Hotwire. Posted the results under Hotwire. It came up today for $83 (vs. $129 yesterday for probably the Westin because it was showing Golf), and I couldn't yet retry on Priceline. A bird in the hand ...
