Priceline Hotel: Bid Help 5/31-6/3

[mcfly21]

I am looking for a hotel for these 3 nights in the Beacon Hill, Boston Common, or Back Bay area.

I was hoping to spend around $150/night but some initial bids told me it probably won't happen. What's the best way to go about getting the best price for a 3*+?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I assume your current bids were at the 3* level and you've already tried up to $150? If so, given that $150 has already been turned down, how high are you willing to go? Is $200 acceptable?

Also, while nothing is cheap for these dates, Quincy Market may offer some of the best value (on a relative basis), is this zone acceptable?

Let us know the above and we'll formulate a plan of action.

I think the highest I would go would be about $180. I'm mainly looking for an area that would have good restaurants around and is easy to get to tourist areas, by train or foot.

I don't know the area that well so any area that would meet those criteria would work for me.

Also, yes I have tried bidding up to $160 in the areas I mentioned. Thanks for your help

Quincy Market is generally considered a touristy area and is usually one of the top three zones bid (Quincy Market, Copley Square and Boston Common). If you want to try these three zones, along with Beacon Hill, you can bid as follows:

At the 3* level in Boston you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.
