Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston North Shore (Peabody-Salem) Marriott Peabody

[Icarus]

I tried several times with bids of $46 and $51, using Danvers-Peabody as a free rebid zone. (I knew that the only reported 3* in that zone, the Sheraton Ferncroft, was sold out for my dates.) After an unsuccessful $51 bid, I succeeded with a $53 bid (the consensus historically successful bid amount). Marriott's online rate for my dates was $109, and I avoided the other 3* in the Peabody-Salem zone, the Sheraton Colonial ($79 for my dates).
