barbgray Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm looking for a Hotwire hotel for Boston from July 18-22. My husband really wants to be in the downtown Boston area or very close-by. Two hotels come up in the area: 1. Quincy Market $159; amenities include "best value" hotel with restaurant and fitness center. 2. Boston Common Theater District, 3.5* $179, customer favorite, hotel, restaurant, fitness center, high speed internet access, and business center. Any idea what these hotels might be? Thanks, Barb Link to comment

barbgray Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 See Seattle thread for update. As to the Boston question, that hotel is for a trip my husband and son are taking. (Can you tell I do all the family hotel bookings?) I am reluctant to use priceline, as it seems each Boston bidding area has at least one hotel that I would not want to get. Any help on the two hotels mentioned above would be much appreciated. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 The Quincy Market hotel is a match for the Millenium Bostonian so that would be our best guess on that property. Not sure about the 3.5* property. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
thenewbie Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Those prices are almost on par with the regular rates of hotels on Expedia:Club Quarters $149Radisson $159Courtyard Tremont $179For Boston, Priceline seems to be the better avenue for 4* Downtown properties. Most likely, you could get a 4* for less than what Hotwire is showing for your 2 hotels. Link to comment
barbgray Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I'm sure you are correct, but I have tried four times so far for Boston Downtown on priceline and failed at bids up to $125. In addition, I read some mixed reviews of the Boston Park Plaza, which I believe is in the Downtown/Boston Commons area, and mixed reviews for the Boston Colonade (Copley area) as well. So now I'm feeling uncertain about trying again with priceline even though Hotwire savings are not that great. Link to comment

barbgray Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Okay, to follow up, I bought the Quincy Market 4* hotel and it is the Millennium Boston. The website rate is $269 and Expedia is $229, so I think this is a good deal. Thanks very much for your help! Now if I can just get Seattle settled. . . Link to comment
