Thanks for the earlier advice. Perhaps the Courtyard would work for us as well. Would you mind sharing the price you are paying for a room? Priceline or Hotwire?

A 4* in the Copley, Back Bay area for under $125 would be ideal, but I could add Cambridge and Downtown Boston as new zones.

Any suggestions for a new strategy?

Hello:

Can you please help me with booking a room in Boston for about $125 per night? My husband will be attending a convention at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center and Sheraton Boston Hotel between Friday, November 11 and Monday, November 15, so admittedly we are contributing to the problem of high prices this weekend. All rooms at the Sheraton are booked at the covention rates of $253 per night. In any case, we were hoping to use Priceline to secure a better deal nearby. He'd like to stay within walking distance or a few T stops away since he usually goes back and forth with up with binders and stuff throughout the day.

Here are my failed attempts at Priceline:

4* Copley and Back Bay - $80, 85, 90

4*, 3* Copley and Back Bay - $90, 95, 100

Hotwire also has a 3* in Boston Common for $135 and a 2* for $110 in Cambridge.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance! JSO
