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

[.ca]

Hello All,

Love betterbidding, great info so I am here today to share my last minute bid for a a Chicago hotel. I of course used the PRICELINE link provided on this page to make sure the author of this website gets credit for this valuable forum!

Bidding for hotel October 10 - October 12

Friday October 9 2009 around 3pm eastern I bidded $140 for a 4 1/2 * hotel in Chicago areas; areas 5 & 6 Millennium Park, Loop & Grant Park Area & North Michigan Ave - River North Area. Bid rejected.

Later tried same bid for a 4* hotel @ $170, bid was denied but priceline suggested I rebid an extra $25 without changing search criteria. Since hotwire rooms were about $215 I decided it wasn't worth it.

Finally searched for North Michigan Avenue 4* @ $175 accepted and booked at 4* Chicago Sheraton, 301 East North Water Street. $419 with tax, called the hotel, room was set as 1 king size bed (first time this has happened) they moved me to a deluxe room 2 beds. I tried chatting up the receptionist for an upgrade (not specifying if paid or free) and she said the club floor was full, but if something opened up she'd get me a room there. I told her we were celebrating a birthday.

Anyways, love the site, I'm happy I have something to contribute since I don't travel for business just pleasure.

Checked shearton.com, $690 usd with taxes for 2 nights in a 1 king bed on the same dates. Some great savings, thanks Shatner / Priceline / Better Bidding

Thanks for the great tips!
