Doubletree Hotel Chicago/Schaumburg
November 3, 2007 • Hotel Review, Priceline • Comments
I was heading to Chicago for A Wicked Good Weekend and needed two hotel rooms for two nights October 25 & 26, 2007. My plan was to use Priceline, but needed to do my research. After checking out Better Bidding and Bidding for Travel, I had my plan of attack.
Bidding:
1st Choice – Downtown NMA area – I was only willing to bid up to $65 a room for 2.5 star property. Others had gotten the Residence Inn for that price. I knew parking would be expensive and I was ok staying in another area outside of the city. I was unsuccessful.
2nd Choice – Schaumburg – I was wiling to bid $42 a room for a 3 star property. Several hotels were accepting bids at this price. Price accepted at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago/Schaumburg.
My Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $42.00
Subtotal: $168.00 (Two rooms for two nights)
Taxes & Service Fees: $29.12
Total Charges: $197.12
