Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Boston (Copley Square-Theater District) Sheraton Boston

[franklin411]

I've been trying to book the last night of my trip in Boston (9/15-9/21) for weeks now--I have a booking at the Marriott from 9/15-9/20 (already have a few threads here on those wins). My bidding history was 4* Quincy Market + Copely for $130/night with no bites. I expected that, so every time I'd try dropping down to 3.5* in Copley for $120-$132, but every time I'd get a counteroffer to add $20 to my bid. I knew that the Sheraton was going for $145-$150/night based on Hotwire, so I finally ended up bidding $135 just to get it over with.

Not a great deal in my opinion, since I could have booked it on Hotwire for ~$140. But for just one night it's not too bad I guess.

PS--I decided to book at a high rate because I did a little googling and there's a ton of conventions in Boston the week of 9/20, so I figured that was as good as it was going to get unless I was willing to take a chance on a last minute inventory dump.

Congrats on your success. :)

Nice deal for the Sheraton for a busy night, and not far from the Marriott.
