I like staying at the Hyatt or Embassy because of the location next to the Convention Center. I will only be at the show Fri-Sun.

 

I have good luck with Priceline when booking large cities so I thought I'd try a shot at "name your own price". The down side is you might get a location up to 2 miles away but if my low ball offer is accepted I can deal with the aggravation. I just put in what I thought would get shot down in a heartbeat. I went for the 4 star Hotels at $49 a night and the Hyatt next to the convention center accepted. :banana:

 

Hope to see some of you guys at the show!!!

Andrew, we'll have to hook up at the show.

 

So did you get the Hyatt next to the convention center? I know that another Hyatt is down the road by the airport but if you got the one at 9300 Bryn Mawr Avenue like I did then it's connected to the convention center.

 

Like I said it's a little bit of a gamble as far as which Hotel will accept but at the price difference (I saved $230 for 2 nights over the Con rate) to me it's worth a try.

They have a beer fridge in the lobby at the Courtyard.

 

:baiting:

 

You mean you guys don't bring your own beer fridge to Chicago every year?

I hear people just take beer off the carts as they roll by after last call. That seems better than a beer fridge.

 

Worked in '08.

Yeah I got the one next door. What a bargain. :banana:

 

I still need Wednesday and Thursday but I'm afraid to gamble any more.
