Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Quincy Market-Faneuil Hall-Financial) Millennium Bostonian

[cppwiz]

Well Priceline really made me work for this one with all the rebidding I had to do. Hotwire was listing a 4 star for $233 so I thought I would start low and try to find the cheapest price I could get in the Quincy Market or Harbor Front areas.

start 4* or 3.5* $88 - rejected

start over, 4* only - find areas with no 4* hotels

96 - Brighton - rej

102 - Fenway - rej

112 - Medford - rej

123 - North Cambridge - rej

136 - South Boston - rej

start over, add 3.5* - find areas with no 3.5* hotels

88 - Brighton - rej

102 - Fenway - rej

123 - Medford - rej

142 - North Cambridge - rej

163 - South Boston - rej

start over, add 3* - find areas with no 3* hotels

166 - initial bid for Quincy Market or Harbor Front - rejected, but received a Priceline offer for $206 - declined

187 - Fenway - rej

206 - North Cambridge - accepted

In the end, I got a great location for what was apparently the cheapest price, however I've never paid this much for a room in NYC, Philly or DC. Boston is an expensive city!

Congratulations on your success!

While perhaps more than you've ever had to pay with PRICELINE, this is a very busy month in Boston (college graduations alone is enough to make it busy), glad to see you're ultimately happy with the deal you received.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us update the Priceline Hotel List with the new star rating for this property.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.
