Still checking for HOTWIRE deals for this night .... nothing to report yet. :)

They have rooms available at $259.00 per night (27th June for 3 nights). :) I booked via HOTWIRE at $89. :) I've updated that thread .. still looking.

Hi, We made a booking with Hotwire for the 2.5* Holiday Inn Express at Fisherman's Wharf a couple of months ago (via your HOTWIRE link :) ) and now need another room, but Holiday Inn Express isn't coming up on Hotwire for the dates needed. I was going to try Priceline for the extra room and I checked the Priceline section of this forum and the only 2.5* listed in Fisherman's Wharf is Holiday Inn Express but there's two other 2.5* hotels listed for that area on another forum :) Therefore, I've two questions. 1. Is it possible that if I bid for a 2.5* that Priceline might 'upgrade' me to a higher rated hotel without me wanting this? 2. How up to date is the 2.5* section on this site which only lists the Holiday Inn Express at Fisherman's Wharf ? Thx.

Had previously pre-booked directly at 3* Holiday Inn Express rate of $86 and was happy with that as this hotel is well rated at Tripadvisor but this is a bonus. :) 3* Holiday Inn Express Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Golf, Tennis, Laundry I'm sorry I forgot to use your HOTWIRE link - will do so next time. :)

I think I have ID-ed a hotel correctly but there's a slight variation in amenities... Hotwire Search shows ... Monterey - Carmel (Monterey) Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Hi-Speed Internet Tripadvisor 4 stars, 120 reviews Better Bidding says... Monterey - Carmel (Monterey) 4* Hotel Pacific Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Hi-Speed Internet, Business Tripadvisor actual is 4 stars but 117 reviews Is my ID correct? Ta.

Holiday Inn Express Fishermans Wharf, as I hoped and expected, thanks to this forum :) Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Business Center High-speed Internet Access I note that the rate has been lower for other dates but very happy to get it at $89. Most other sites quoting $200+ I also used the HOTWIRE link from this site :)

2A + 2C, 1 room, 3 nights from 3rd July 2005 Selected amenities include: Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Business Center. $108 per room per night (using Firefox) less $10/night promo code GIFTCARD06 (=$98) (was $112 with IE and $116 with NN!) 1 room(s) @ $108.00 per night x 3 nights = $324.00 Taxes and Fees: $45.95 Hotel Subtotal: $369.95 Additional Savings: $30.00 Total Cost $339.95

I thought of that and did research since my last post and picked up that it was near the "aquarium" - which matched Wyndham and not Omni, so I went ahead ..... and got the Wyndham! :) Will post details in new post. Thanks :)

Thanks for feedback. I didn't realise that the Omni was potentially in this area, as I see it hasn't been confirmed before. This makes me a bit nervous, as the Omni gets very mixed reviews in Trip Advisor. Choice I have it to go for this and make sure of a room for 4 (and risk getting Omni) or try PL in a different area (eg Copely) and get a better hotel and possibly better deal but risk not getting a room for 4 (which is unlikey but possible) Thoughts welcome! :)

We spent 3 nights on Cape Cod few years ago. It was 3 nights too much. Cape Cod was tacky and we couldn't wait to leave. Had we not prepaid (I now know why!), we would have moved on. Stayed in a 3* hotel along the south road - Cape Point Hotel - and it was awful - run-down and expensive ($140+ per night) - AFAIK, most hotels on that road are expensive. Standards are way lower that elsewhere in NE. I'd guess that a 2* wouldn't be great but best of luck :) We took a drive along the North road - lovely private houses - completly different to south. Hyannis was like taking a journey back to the 1970's. :) Martha's vineyard is lovely but expensive. Take the ferry from Wood's Hole, go over and hire a bike for a day. We plan to do this part again this year but we'll skip CC. :o

Hotwire - Quincy Market - Financial District 2A + 2C, 1 room, 3 nights from 3rd July 2005 Customer Favorite! Selected amenities include: Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Business Center. $108 per room per night (using Firefox) Thanks :)

Thanks, folks. :) Just checked and this Hotwire deal is $108 if using Firefox browser. :) Looks like the hotel is the Wyndham Boston ? Anyone agree? Any chance it could be the 3* Club Quarters, Boston? If I was sure it was the Wyndham Boston I'd go for it - seems a great hotel and guaranteed room for 4 may be worth paying extra (compared with approx rates for PL) for peace of mind I am new to Hotwire - is the "GIFTCARD06 to save $10 per night" apply to the $108 - ie I pay $98 ? :o Any other tips or advice for someone who has never used Hotwire before? BTW, I had tried easyclicktravel.com they showed a hotel at $112 but I reckon its the Boston Marriott Quincy, as the decsr is exactly the same as its site - and hotel only 3* and too far out.

We would wish to spend first few days in city before leaving and we plan to pick up a car at the airport for the rest of our two week stay travelling around, so our dates are pretty fixed for the city part of the trip. I hadn't thought of checking general hotel rates in other sites to compare - thanks for the suggestion :) One thing I've just picked up is that the Millennium Bostonian is listed (on that other place) as being a 4* in Downtown, but it doesn't appear here. The problem with that hotel is that there doesn't appears to be any rooms with 2 double beds (at standrda rate), so including Downtown in PL isn't now an option. AFAICS, all 4* hotels in Copley have roms with 2 doubles.

Hi, Greetings from UK :) I'm a refugee from the other place - been shouted at too many times and have now (gladly) found this forum. I've used PL a couple of times before on trips to USA and worked out reasonable well. With 2A + 2C its been a case of crossed fingers and being nice (as always!) to hotel to get a 2 double bed room, but worked out OK each time. Anyway, we're coming over to Boston on 3rd July and will be trying PL for a 4* near centre for 3 nights - question is .... will the rates / availaibility be affected by booking over 4th July? Not sure if hotels will be busier or quieter over the holiday weekend? Thanks for any feedback.
