Priceline Hotel: Bidding Help Needed

[boilerdwc]

Trying to get a hotel DT for 10/17-19.

I have tried bids up to $140 for N. Mich Ave to a 3 star.

Also tried the Loop for $140 to a 4 star, I don't want club quarters and am scared to drop to a 3 star for this area.

How high will I need to go to get a room for this weekend?

Thanks

I added my comments to my prior posts.

Please help, still searching for a room.

I'm guessing it will likely take about $175+... and that that point you may be close to a 4* hotel and may want to 'reach' for that first before simply trying for the lowest priced 3* property.

What is the best deal you're able to find outside of the opaque suppliers? (use our BetterChecker to assist in your search)

I can get the Raffaello for $295

Wyndham $265

Hard Rock $259

Doubletree $235

Sheraton Tower $279

With your "next best deal" starting at $235/nite (Doubletree above) is $140 your maximum bid for this stay?

No, I would probably go up to $175-200 a night.

Are you ready to bid that high now? (and do you want to stop at $175 or $200)

Did you want to try for a 4* first or is your goal the least expensive 3* or better property in the NMA or Loop zone?

Just booked the Courtyard for now...got it for $550 with tax for two nights. I may check PRICELINE again closer to the date.

My $175 bid failed for 3* and better.

I am looking the same weekend. I have noticed that the prices have fell in the past couple of days.

I know that the block of hotels for one of the conferences (WEFTC) are being released on the 19th. So, my plan is to continue to look or book on Quikbook or EasyClickTravel.
