krschee Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Been lurking for a while, decided to register and give back to the community. Will be travelling to 5 cities in the next 8 weeks so I figued I'd register.Have been bidding for 2 days now for a 4 day trip to for business interviews. Ended up splitting the stay between Cambridge and Copley Square areas.Long story short, bid up to $170 for 3.5* in the Cambridge area, which is ridiculous. I understand the 25-27th are busy days, but still.Ended up targeting the 2* Hampton Inn...bid $75, and priceline "upgraded" me to 3*. Hence, the Courtyard win.Reviews on the hotel are very good except location; it's not close to any T stops. However, with almost $100 saved per night, I'll have some change to spend on taxis. My other 2 nights will be covered in this priceline hotel win thread. Thx BB! Link to comment

aa85 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 The T is not super close, but there are stations within a 15-20 minute walk - whether that is close enough obviously depends on your situation. The hotel is less than a mile from Central Square on the Red Line. You could also cross the river to BU to reach the Green Line "B" Branch. Link to comment

A 15-20 minute walk in a suit and an unfamiliar city just doesn't work for me. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment
