urai Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Any tips how to get rooms in Westin Copley Square in Boston for the dates 08/22-08/24?Thanks-U Link to comment
scottlevin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I would book it directly. If you bid on PRICELINE, you have no guarantee whatsoever of getting a specific hotel.Maybe a better question is: "Any tips for getting a hotel that IS LIKE the Westin Copley?" That could be workable. Link to comment
urai Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 being that it is the Copley - back bay area, wanted to know if this one comes across as the one from Priceline for a bid in a certain range.There are only a handful of 4 star hotels in that area.ThanksU Link to comment
scottlevin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Suppose that were true...And say the Westin's rate is always around $160...And, hypothetically, the W Hotel is always around $110...So you bid $160 because you want the Westin and you don't want the W...But then what if the Westin isn't offering any rooms that night?Then you'll win the W, and you will have paid $50 more for it than you really wanted to.And you'll feel bad.

yellowdog Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 uraiIf you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.Let us know how we can help you further.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.

urai Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hoping for max 130 per room.4* is 179-182 for the Westin.Failed at bidding at 130 for 4* as well.Would like the Sheraton Boston 3.5* if possible.Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 The 3.5* i'm seeing when searching HOTWIRE for your dates is a 'non-opaque' property. When clicking the CONTINUE button next to this offering it shows the name, Radisson Hotel Boston.However, this is priced at $309/nite... are you seeing a different price, as this would appear to be way over your budget (and the original Westin you were seeking closer than this one)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
