Congratulations on your success!

Hope you're pleased with the hotel and deal received and this works well for your plans.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for your future bidding.

Enjoy this leg of your trip.

An update on this...We were really happy with the win until it turns out that Priceline reconsidered a bid my husband made on his account two days earlier (and hadn't told me about). He submitted a bid, it was rejected, then somehow they submitted it again (he said the screen froze when he first bid) and accepted it. He never got an acceptance/itinerary email though he did get a "check the status of your bid" email (which he didn't check).

To cut a long story short, we now have two rooms in the same hotel..his bid was accepted at $147. Priceline won'd do anything despite the message on his account that his failed bid was resubmitted.

Kinda takes the shine off this win.

Sorry to hear of the duplicate purchase.

A good opportunity to invite a friend to come along... or ask for connecting rooms and make it a suite :)

To post an update, while Priceline customer service on the phone were unhelpful I used their Twitter service to contact them and...RESULT :) The second reservation has been cancelled and a refund processed. Am very impressed!

Glad to hear it ultimately worked out well and the issue was resolved to your satisfaction.

Im staying in boston 10/8-9....Realy wanted to stay in Copley Park....I bid 4 & 3.5 star all the way to $205+ & Nothing...Im very confused about that since i usualy have good luck bidding....

Asking prices are as low as $260....Anyways

I was thinking about bidding the convention center area, but not familiar with whats there...Anyone know if its worth a stay or not?
