Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston Metro-West (Lexington-Concord) Aloft Lexington

[deville69]

again, I need help from the experts :

The last two days of our trip to New England, we would like to visit Boston. Some research showed, thats this weekend is busy in Boston. What would you do ?

First, I identified at hotwire the 3* Courtyard Woburn Boston North for $85 a night. It sounds like a good deal but maybe I can get a 3 or 4 star in the in the popular zones of Boston Downtown..., but I don't want to pay more than $ 120 before tax and fees.

Make it sence to wait or should stay a little bit outside, because this weekend will be remain expensive.

Thank you so much !

I'm going to guess a 3* may be tough for these dates at the $120 level in the main downtown zones. You could certainly try up to that level and see if anything accepts, but I think it very well may take a higher bid. Unfortunately, there's no way to know if the rates will go down closer to the dates.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

That is going to be an expensive weekend with the Head of the Charles Regatta and some of the colleges having Parents' Weekend. I don't know how true this is, but I read on another travel blog that you check the Hotwire price for your dates and use that price as a guide; anticipating spending about 80% of the HW price. I also have a personal theory (and it is JUST mine) that once you get inside the 21 day advance fare window, hotels will release their un-reserved rooms at good prices so as to get "heads in beds". My logic is that people book their airfare generally 21 days in advance and their hotel immediately after that. Thus, once you're inside that 21 day window, hotels have a general sense of their occupancy.

That sounds logical to me - I agree with you. I'm from Gemany and my travel plans are firm since april this year. Yesterday evening I booked the aloft Lexington for a great rate via priceline. It's pretty outside but I have a rental car.

Now I'm looking forward to my short USA Trip :)
