I'm new here and apologize if this was answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find it in Getting Started, FAQs, or other areas. I'm traveling to Boston June 3rd - June 7th for a big conference (room rates are high and availabilities are low b/c of the 9,400 attendees who will saturate the area). I understand this will make my quest a little more difficult but I'd like to stay in either the Copley Square - Theatre District zone (1st choice) or the Quincy Market - Faneuil Hall - Financial zone (2nd choice) and see what I can get through Priceline. The conference is offering 4-star hotel prices for 200 to 300 dollars, which is pretty darn good but I'd like to try my chances with PL to squeeze into something between the 150 to 200 range. Anyway, I plan to begin bidding in Copley Square for 4-star hotels, using the rebidding strategy laid out by this website (after rejected bids, add zones that do not have 4-star or above hotels), using the A, AB, AC, ABC strategy that folks have mentioned. Assuming I can't get anywhere with that method, I wouldn't mind being in the Quincy Market area. My questions: should I add the Quincy Market zone to the Copley Square zone and again raise my bid, or once Quincy Market is added, should I decrease my bid to something similar to what I started with when initially bidding in Copley Square? Also to take into account is that Quincy Market has 4.5 star hotels, while Copley Square only has 4-star hotels. And another question, while I'm at it, should I look in Quincy Market at a reduced bid and leave Copley Square out until I've exhausted my rebids for a 4.5/4-star hotel in Quincy Market? Thank you very much for your help, and I will certainly use your PRICELINE / HOTWIRE links once I get started. Great website.
