[londonray]

Hi there,

new to priceline and bidding. Already posted a thread on the NYC subforum. I'm also planning to visit Boston during this trip so here i am. Looking for a 3*-4* hotel for those 2 nights in boston. Budget is around $80 all in for a hotel which is reasonably close to a T-station. Please advise on a bidding strategy? Thank you very much in advance!

There is no option to select a hotel "reasonably close to a T station"... please go to PRICELINE and let us know which zones, by PRICELINE name, you're willing to accept. As well, off the top of my head i don't know the hotel tax rate in Boston, so please let u know your maximum bid amount (not all-in amount)

Lastly, are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3* OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay? (although i'll add that if you're looking to stay Downtown, a quick look at your dates it appears that your budget won't be enough... unless you consider the airport or surrounding suburbs)
