eg08chi Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Looking for an inexpensive hotel for my parents to stay in over thanksgiving weekend. Location (near downtown - I live in Lincoln Park, not out near the airports) is very important, amenities are not. Very price sensitive. What is the best deal I can reasonably shoot for on PL?

AaronJB Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'd attempt to bid for a 4* in the Millennium Park/Loop/Grant Park area for $70.Additionally, I don't recommend bidding in Lincoln Park - too few hotels, too little inventory, not much in the way of deals.Please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links.

Also tried up to $85 for a 3* in Michigan ave area and no takers. My dates were for 11/27-11/29. Just FYI Link to comment

We may amend the dates and not stay Friday night to see if that helps. When I've looked at the nightly rates they seem to jump up quite a bit for the weekend. People coming into town to shop I guess.

TAMDAVE Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Just talked to a friend who bid $70 for a 4* in the Loop and it was accepted. Dates were the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. Forgot to ask what property he got.Just FYI Link to comment
AaronJB Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you do find out, TAMDAVE, it would be greatly appreciated if you could let the board know. Additionally, if you still do need help with your 11/27-29 stay, please start a new thread. Thanks. :) Link to comment
