Hotwire Hotel: 4* Boston (Boston Common-Theatre District) Back Bay Hotel

[ras67]

I've bid up to $135 in basically $5 increments on a 4 star for the Copley area this weekend using all of the free-rebid zones. No luck at all!

I'm suprised since someone else won today with a $125 bid. Any idea why? Or what I should make my next move?

I played around with the 3 stars as well, bidding 80, 90 and 100 without any success. :)

And yes, I used your PRICELINE link to start my bidding each time! :)

Rates are date specific... i didn't see the thread with the $125 win, was it for the same number rooms and the same check-in and check-out date? If not, that could easily explain their acceptance and your rejections, as well as that some hotels don't allow saturday check-ins (although this is much less common given the current state of the economy then a few years back when hotels were able to be a bit more selective)

Is the Copley zone the only one you're willing to accept? HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the Boston Common-Theatre District zone for $129/nite with: Boutique, Smoke Free, Fitness, Restaurant, Business, Internet icons.

While this property has not yet been reported to the board, it does show 100% recommended by HOTWIRE users and an excellent Tripadvisor rating of 4.5/5.0 so it would seem to be the quality is quite good, and a good deal for the area given your previous rejections up to $135 for a nearby area.

Your thoughts?

It was the same date that someone else won, they were staying an extra night, however.

I am just fine with Boston Common/Theatre Dist and I didnt see that one on HOTWIRE yesterday... I'd still like to know what it might be before I book and I'm having a hard time on trip advisor even finding a zone that fits that description so I can check the hotels that might match.

Do you think it might be Nine Zero or Back Bay Hotel?

Hi,

I won on priceline the Fairmont Copley for $125 a night. I booked 2 rooms though. I've also been trying since late October!

I placed my bid early Monday morning and finally, my bid was accepted! You may want to try bidding in the early morning.

I'm not sure if that will make a difference, but it's worth a shot!

Good Luck,

Glitzy

The Nine Zero isn't in the Boston Common-Theatre District zone so i don't think that is a possible outcome... but the Back Bay Hotel would be a likely outcome among the possibilities. (it's been seen before but without a Boutique icon and in a different zone... but it appears that the zone boundaries may have changed since it was last reported and that this is now in the Boston Common zone)

Thanks for your advice.

I went for the HOTWIRE deal and it was indeed Back Bay Hotel, which I found out in my research used to be called Jurys. I've heard many great things about this hotel so i'm quite happy.

I used your HOTWIRE link to start my booking!
