thereuare Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!At the moment i think you're likely looking at ~$200 for a 4* Downtown hotel... ~$170 if you include Cambridge. At the 3*/3.5* level probably about $170 for Downtown... maybe ~$125 for a 3* if you include Cambridge.If these are more than your willing to pay, what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel thru conventional booking channels?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

crito Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Thank you for the help but I decided to stay in Providence, RI.I had more success with a lower bid . . .Four Star Hotel - Providence Westin Retail $160/nightI paid $80 total . . .Now need to work on rental car . . .Just a thought: the Westin has easy access to transportation to Boston. You can walk two blocks and catch the Peter Pan bus, or about the same distance to the train station. Either mode will get you to Boston (South Station or Back Bay) in about an hour. You can do the same to get to the Westin from Logan Airport (assuming that's where your flight lands) -- there is a Peter Pan bus that picks up at Logan, stops at South Station, stops at the Providence bus terminal -- but take it one more stop to Kennedy Plaza. Or else the Silver Line to South Station and then a train to Providence.Driving is likely to be a hassle (because of Boston traffic) and the parking at the Boston end will be expensive. And rentals at Logan are waaaaay off site, kind of a pain. Link to comment
