Went through SavingsBarn links this time(yeah for me) 1st bid 4* -MTE $150/rejected 2nd bid 4*-added MTW $175/rejected 3rd bid 4* added financial district/soho $200/rejected Already have The Paramount for $243/nt, but there are two of us and we need separate beds. Afraid going to 3* will produce lousier hotels than I desire. Maybe because of dates, I should stick with The Paramount which I booked through Hotels.com (long before I knew about better bidding) Any thoughts. Thanks

Took the bull by the horns and, after reading the tutorial on this site re: PL bidding -- went for it. qst bid: 4* downtown[ bid $90 - rejected. 2nd bid selected 3* (tried to do the rezone thing). put in $100. Got the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Would have been nice to get a 4* and wondering if $90 would have been accepted when I downgraded to 3*, but I think I still did well and this seems to be a nice hotel. Seems like a good location and I like the fact it is on the National Historic Hotel Registry. PL shows it as $189/nt, Hotel's website shows even higher prices and sold out, so I did well. I was willing to spend on hotwire was $117/nt for a 3* hotel which I have a feeling was going to be the Doubletree in the theater district. This is a great website and I am really glad I found you. so I think I did OK. If anyone has any info on this hotel. would be interested in knowing. Thanks

Not as comfortable using priceline....perhaps not as familiar. Any info on boston park plaza. Looked on Trip advisor. Seems to be OK>
