swier630 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 My husband and I are traveling to Boston for our one year anniversary. From my research it seems that the Copley Square or Quincy Market areas are the best places to stay to be close to the different sights, restaurants, etc. We'd like to stay at a 4* star hotel (although we'd be willing to drop down if cost is a problem) and we only want to spend around $150 per night max.We'll be staying from 6/30-7/4...any suggestions on where to start with a priceline bid? I've been reading all of the info on the forums, but I can't figure out an appropriate, reasonable place to start.Any help would be much appreciated!
thereuare Posted May 3, 2013 Report Posted May 3, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!What about the Boston Common zone (which sits right in-between the Quincy Market and Copley zones)... did you want to include this zone in your bidding as well?Please confirm and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

swier630 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Posted May 3, 2013 Sure, I guess we'd be willing to include it...I don't know much about Boston - we just want to be in a safe neighborhood around the sights. I was just picking based off of suggestions from previous tourists.

After going through each of the above bids (using the provided link, of course!), we finally secured the Hyatt Regency in the Boston Common-Theater District for $125/night!
