I decided to use Name your own price to book our anniversary trip to Chicago. The way to get exactly where you want is to try the exact area you want with the star rating you want. So for us, I choose a 4 star in downtown. Now, you click areas taht DON'T have 4 stars in order to quarantee you get the one you want (downtown). I clicked the wrong one and the bid got accepted. Now we're staying at a Hilton IN THE AIRPORT. And I paid $10 more than it costs to directly book. And now, because we won't be downtown to start with, I don't think we'll be able to do anything on the day we we return. We were going to hang out downtown before heading to catch a flight. Now we'd have to take the train/cab downtown for a short time and then make my way for my flight in time. Yeah, I pitched a fit and broke down crying. Both H and I called Priceline and they won't budge. I feel like our trip is ruined now
