It took forever to get this one. I did not want to bid less than 4*s in the airport zone because some of the 3* (no 3.5*s are listed in the list of airport zone hotels at BetterBidding). So, I alternated between bidding at 4* only and including the airport zone (lots of free rebid areas) and 3* or higher, but not including the airport zone. I went up to $150 for both kinds of bids (starting lower & building up by adding zones) and still, no success. I decided to risk a 3* in the airport zone - starting out lower. I was one bid away from my max bid for 3*s in the airport zone (because some of the 3* airport hotels can be directly reserved for as little as $120-$125 esp. if you prepay) and I got this one. It worked out well in the end.

PRICELINE definitely was not interested in accepting bids below $150/night for 3* or higher downtown - maybe only one of the nights is really bad in terms of availability and if I didn't need both, it might have been easier. Perhaps closer to the actual stay date would make it easier - hotels might give up rooms that haven't sold by then.

I actually needed 4 nights, but; I had split the reservation in 2 because I was not succeeding at getting all 4 nights initially (5/25 - 5/29). I thought the Memorial Day weekend might be the problem, but it turns out, I had much more difficulty getting the 5/25 - 5/27 reservation. Some of the higher star downtown Boston hotels have no availability so something is going on - it might be commencement spillover from the preceding weekend, or some big convention. I've pretty much been bidding daily for over 2 weeks!

TripReview has some pretty awful reviews of this hotel. Maybe not such a good deal. :)

I'll file a review once I return.
