hotelseeker1 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 Bought through the HOTWIRE link in this site, and thanks for keeping this site going.4.5*. August 26-Sept 1. Intercontinental. $174/night, 2 adults, 2 children.Extreme Savings.95% customer preferred.Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Spa Services Interestingly, I went back to Hotwire this morning to possibly book another night in Boston, and for the 4.5* hotel in Quincy Market the listing states "still gathering reviews." They may be updating the site, or realized that the 95% rating is a clue that this is the Intercontinental rather than the other 4.5* (non-boutique) hotel in this area. BTW- The Langham is running specials on their website. The hotwire price for a 4.5* in Quincy Market is lower than the discount offered by the hotel directly, but not by much. The "extreme savings" could also be a clue that it is the Intercontinental.
cjszybinski Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 that same description had me suspecting the Langham, interesting that it turned out to be the intercontinental. The 5 days following your reservation are presently available at $152 per night
cjszybinski Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 your search dates currently offer a rate of $162 w/ SUPERSAVING*
hotelseeker1 Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Posted July 15, 2011 your search dates currently offer a rate of $162 w/ SUPERSAVING* From another post, I think the clue that it was the Intercontinental was the 95% rating. Also, the Extreme Savings would apply only compared to the Interconitnental, not to the Langham (at least with their current discounts). I would not consider $174/night to be "extreme savings" compared to the discount rate offered by the Langham on their website. I was very happy, because we really wanted the Interconntal instead of the Langham. For some reason the hotel rates in Boston went up the week we will be there. I am not sure what might be happening there during that week, but that is the only time we have. I just checked hotwire. The $162 Super Saving is for two adults, 0 kids. When I put in 2 adults, 2 kids, I get the $174 I paid, as an Extreme Savings. Both list the hotel at 95%. Is the Langham getting 95%? Anyway, if someone wants to increase the odds of getting the Intercontinental, they might consider requesting a room for 2 adults, 2 kids.

AaronJB Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 Congrats on your success. :)Very nice deal for the Intercontinental for these dates.The HOTWIRE % customer review is not a reliable indicator as to which hotel it may be - the rating has been seen changing from search-to-search. Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
