Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston Metro South (Needham - Dedham) Hilton

[VelmoTraveller]

Wow. I made 65 bids over several weeks before finally hitting, but I did not want to spend more than $50 so I knew it would be tough. I bid for Logan Airport area mainly, adding Back Bay and Downtown as well as lower star areas for rebid opportunities. I figured I wouldn't be bidding enough to hit places like Back Bay but would have been happy if I had.

After a couple of weeks I started bidding Braintree and Norwood after exhausting the other bids. Still nuttin'.

All my bids went from $38-$50; finally out of frustration I tried Needham, which I had been avoiding because I thought it was too far out, and hit on my first attempt at exactly $50.

Turned out to be fortuitous - it was the Hilton in Dedham, with free parking and just a block away from the train station. No parking or traffic problems, so what more can you ask? I'll post my review of the hotel when I get back.

Naturally, I made all 65 bids through savingsbarn.com.

Congratulations, you got your price of $50 for a 3-star hotel room.
