FOEDOGG Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Of course I started bidding with the BB PRICELINE link :) Needed May 2-4, so bid 4* up to $104 (except Logan & Cambridge), no go. Bid 3.5* up to $98 (except L & C again), nothing again. So, decided to split it up to 2 separate requests. Started with 4* @ $80, denied but PL offered rebid @ $100. Declined that obviously because I knew I was close & rebid by $2 until Westin was won @ $88. Seems like a great deal for this one, love the location near the square. I tried to extend my stay another night but was shot down. So, I rebid May 3-4 w/4* up to $104, 3.5* to $98 again and nothing. I have no idea what's going on in Boston those next couple of days, but the prices seem MUCH higher than just a day or 2 previous. Getting close to my price limit, so any advice would be appreciated. I "saw" the Hilton Back Bay on lastminutetravel.com for $135ish for those dates, but that's a bit much for me. Would like to maintain 3.5*-4* range near downtown, should I wait a bit or push it up a little more right now? Max budget is +/-$105/nt before taxes.
