Priceline Hotel: 4* Chicago (NMA - River North) W Lakeshore

[TommyV]

I just used the PRICELINE link from this site to book a hotel room for Sunday Sept. 6, 2009. I started out by bidding for a 4* hotel in the NMA-River North area at $60. That bid did not win but a message said if I was willing to increase my bid by $17, I could rebid without any other changes. Having read posts on this site I knew I didn't necessarily have to bid that much so I decided to decline their offer and rebid $65 adding Lincoln Park, which does not offer any 4* hotels. That bid was rejected so I added the Skokie-Evanston area (also no 4*) and bid $70. This bid was accepted by The W Hotel Lakeshore. A standard room on their own site is $159 for that night. I've never stayed there before but it looks nice.

Bid $70, + tax and fees of $18.10 = $88.10 total

Probably the lowest rate I've ever seen for this property. I'll also recommend Fox and Obel Market and Cafe (fox-obel.com), which is a short walk away on the corner of McClurg and Illinois.
