Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Boston (Copley Square-Theatre District) Park Plaza

[musicphan]

I am going to be heading to Boson for New Years Eve and wonder if it is better to try and snag a room now vs. waiting until few weeks before? I'm looking for a 3*-4* room in the Copley Square-Theatre District. In an ideal world I'd spend <$100. Dates of travel would be Wed. 12/29/10 to Sun. 1/2/11

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have already tried bidding $75 but got denied a few days ago.

It's almost always a very good idea to try to lock something in for NYE in most major cities - NYC, Seattle, Boston, etc. Based upon the HOTWIRE rates I'm seeing for these dates, in most of the main zones of Boston, a 4* under $100 would appear to have fairly slim chances, and a 3 or 3.5* would appear possible.

Which zones would you be interested in bidding for?

AaronJB,

I agree with your advice about sooner is better for that time of year. I think we're looking at Copley area since we're going to the House of Blues on the 30th & 31st. I know Boston like the back of my hand, but want to make it easy on my travel partners in case we get separated - which is a possibility.

Looking at either a 3* or 3.5*. I have faith that it can happen. Don't need plush this time around (I'll go for that high-end when I'm there in October with my nieces).

Just scored the Park Plaza for $80.00 per night for New Year's Eve!

I've stayed there before and can't believe its only a 3.5*. If I could only score this hotel at that same price for my October Boston trip...

Don't know why it put the in place of the price in the subject line.

Are you willing to pay more for a 3.5* vs. a 3* OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?

I posted results yesterday. $80 for a 3.5* from 12/29 - 1/1 at the Park Plaza

Thanks for the help/in put though. I do appreciate it. Fingers crossed I can do as well for an up coming trip to Boston in October.
