Priceline Hotel: Boston Help

[muffalator]

I am looking for a four star hotel in Boston for two nights starting September 26. Apparently there are 4,000 people attending conventions at that time. Any ideas about bidding? Thank you

What is more important: price or quality level?

What area(s) are you looking to stay in?

What is the maximum you are willing to spend?

What is your back-up? (No trip, a cancellable hotel reservation [for how much?], date change)

[muffalator]

Quality is more important than price. We prefer two beds or a king.

Areas (2) Downtown/Copley

$160

Don't have a backup yet

Thanks again.

3 out of 3 hotels i checked are sold-out.

Any thru consolidators such as EasyClickTravel or QUIKBOOK?

[thenewbie]

As thereuare mentions, some of the Priceline hotels are sold-out. That being said, you'll probably need to pay more than $160 for a 4* room in Downtown or Copley.

Some options:

Millennium Bostonian $269 & 289/night - Deluxe King (Cancellable by Noon day of arrival)

Colonnade is $299

Hotwire:

Back Bay 4* - Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, High-Speed Internet Access, Business Center -$247

Cambridge 4* - Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness , Spa , Internet Access, Business Center - $217

Quincy Mkt 4* - Restaurant(s), Fitness Center - $240

This is from Easy Click for Boston. 1. Do you know what hotel this is? 2. Can one be guaranteed 2 beds?

Use the REVERSE EasyClickTravel Look-up Tool for identification of "Off the Record" EasyClickTravel hotels.

At "check-out" some EasyClickTravel hotels let you specify the bedding you want, if that is not shown, then it is similar to a priceline/hotwire purchase where room assignment will be done at check-in (although you can still make requests by calling the hotel... and unlike priceline/hotwire, the reservation is fully refundable up until 72 hours before check-in date, so if your request won't be noted you can always cancel the reservation).
