Priceline Hotel: Bid up to $210/night for 4* for 7/25 with no luck

[sweetcatastrophe]

What am I doing wrong?

Started at $100/night, 4*, Boston Common- Theater District and Copley Square- Back Bay and bid up to $130

Then $100/night, 4*, Boston Common- Theater District and Quincy Market- Financial District up to $130

Then Boston Common- Theater District, Copley Square- Back Bay, and Quincy Market- Financial District bidding from $140 all the way up to $210. What should I do next? Should I wait until closer to my date to try again? Should I try every day up until then? Please advise. Any advice would be appreciated!:)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Other than traveling to Boston during a very busy nite you're not doing anything "wrong".

Using the BiddingHelper.com and/or MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel for this nite? How high are you willing to bid for a 4* before considering lowering your star rating and/or consider less centrally located zones? What is the purpose of this stay... is it just a 'nite out in the city' or do you have some other plans?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

PS- if you haven't yet please read your messages. Thanks.

Hi, You won't get good rates in downtown Boston on this day. I think there are 2 events going on. Even retail price are a lot higher than usual. If you can move your date to the 26th, you'll find a lot of better rates. If you really need to be in boston on the 25th, than try to stay a few miles away from Boston.
