Check here for a star level primer: Priceline Star Ratings

is this still a good deal??

You're still saving $89 (45%) off the rack rate. The location is close to the Prudential Center (and its 'T' stop) and Symphony Hall.

I appreciate the advice/help!

By the way I got this off the priceline site:

"We've independently evaluated each of our hotel partners and assigned them a star level (1-5) based on our own strict rating system. Search our descriptions for a listing of typically available amenities and services and choose the hotel star level that works best for your trip. We have boutique and resort hotels too! "

I read the link you sent me about the ratings and the OP says that the hotels self rate, according to pricline it is "independant", would'nt that mean it has to be fromj outside the hotel that the ranking come??
