Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston (South) Courtyard

[snova031]

Hey all...planning me and my fiancee's anniversary trip to Boston...been several times, we've previously stayed in Lowell and Chelmsford, however this time I wanted something a little closer to the city. Found this Courtyard, which had good reviews, and the big seller, free on-site parking.

Started bidding on 6/1 at $60/night (had the $50 off coupon that was emailed to me a couple of weeks ago, so bidding was at $50/night + $10 off/night coupon), got declined. Tried on 6/2 for $65, denied, and again tonight for $70/night and denied.

Then, added Fenway as they only have 1*, and upped bid to $75/night and got accepted! Only paying $65/night w/ coupon, worked out well!

Hey! Good job-I just got back from there and got the same winning priceline bid as you (75$). Hotel and service couldn't have better. The hotel gives you written instructions to the T train a short jaunt away. You are 2 stops from downtown. Free good coffee and newspaper but no free breakfast(12$ buffet which was completely empty). The T-train is right behind a Dunkin Donuts which can quench your morning breakfast desires. I did not feel it was a bad neighborhood as other reviews hinted. It is in a residential Polish area and walking at night is dark and quiet(which is admittably a little daunting) but it is only a couple blocks. There is a strip mall right out back as well which is nice and finally the FREE parking which sold me. Have fun I am sure you will be happy staying there. GO SOX!

Thanks for sharing your experience there, it looks like a good deal at a good place.

As for the area, I had read that it's not the best neighborhood, but I'm sure it'll be just fine.

Glad you enjoyed your stay
