rwethereyet? Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hello, I am looking for a hotel in Boston, July 8-10.I would love 4* and I am hoping to get a good price. I have been looking on older posts and I see that maybe under $150 is possible....Beacon Hill- Downtown- Back Bay- Boston Common- Convention center. I hope I am not asking too much. What do you think?Thanks Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Rates are very date specific and what users have won for other dates is not a good indicator. Unfortunately, given the rates I'm seeing, $150 is definitely not going to be possible for one of the core Boston areas - you're likely looking at at least $235-250 and closer to $300, depending on the zone. Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for this trip?

rwethereyet? Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for your help. I guess I was way off :) I will try with a higher bid, $250-280 Link to comment

AaronJB Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Unfortunately, rates don't seem to have gotten any better for these dates, although the first night seems mildly better. What would be your desired max bid for this stay? Would you consider a lower star rating and/or splitting your stay in order to get a lower per night average?
