Hotwire Hotel: 4* Boston (Quincy Market - Financial District) Omni Parker House

[bmool]

Need Help bidding Boston 09/28-30. I want a 3.5*~4* star in downtown, near Chinatown by using Priceline.

I guess the zone would be Boston Common - Theater District. I am newbie to PL. Is there anyone could help me?

I want to know how much should I bid first and how to do the rebid if declines. Thank you guys.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

As they have been recently for Boston, rates are fairly high for these dates... what is your expected budget per nite before taxes/fees for this trip? Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3.5* OR is your goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this trip?

Also, since rates are somewhat high, do you really need to be right near Chinatown? The Quincy Market should get you fairly close, as will most part of the Copley Square-Back Bay zone, and if there are no conferences in town the Waterfront-Convention Center zone may offer some good value and not much further than a mile away. Most of these other zones should offer T service close to Chinatown, or a cab ride wouldn't be much more than $5-$10 i believe.

Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

I would like to spend up to 150 for a 4*. If declines, I will go down to 120 for a 3.5*

I would like to stay in the downtown.

Thank you so much

Does this mean only Quincy Market or is Copley Square-Back Bay also acceptable?

This was only at the 4* level or at the 3.5* level too? If only 4* have you yet tried any 3.5* bidding? Are all of these zones acceptable at the 3.5* level too?
