Priceline

NEGOTIATOR!  Sorry all I can think of is William Shatner in the commercial ha!

Ok, seriously though...has any one ever used Priceline to bid on a hotel?  What was your experience like?  I get kind of nervous booking and paying for something without knowing exactly what it is.   TIA!

DH uses Priceline for just about all of our trips!  He has really good luck with it too.  Last year we went to Chicago (your neck of the woods!) and stayed at the Hyatt downtown (on Wacker) for about $75 a night.  He also used it when we went to NYC in October and got good deals on a hotel in Midtown.

We've yet to have a bad experience with them.  Good luck!

I've only used priceline for flights, and hotwire for hotels - hotwire is another you might want to look into. As long as you book 3 stars or higher the hotels we've gotten have been great and really cheap!! I would trust priceline too though.

My boss uses it all of the time and he always says he gets awesome deals on really nice hotels. GL

Thanks ladies!  My brother and a friend have used Priceline and only had good things to say as well.  I may have a new vacation ticker soon

DH always uses it for hotels.  He actually called and asked what the hotel choices were for a 4 star in Cincinnati and they told him.  We knew all the hotels so he booked then and it's always been really nice.

Look at betterbidding dot come-you enter the city, and there is a forum of which hotels are usually offered on priceline.  The only bad thing with using priceline is that you don't get the rewards points...
