joespud Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Have failed from $75 to $95 thus far - for zones 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 13. Started with 3* Will try again tomorrow starting at 4* Ideally want Marriott Tudor Wharf or Loews Back Bay Used Priceline link (unsuccessfully) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 What is your desired max budget per night for this stay? Given the rates that I'm seeing, I'd guess you're probably looking at at least the $125-135 +/- area for a 4* in core areas of Boston (or more depending on zone.) Please list zone/s by name instead of number - thanks. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
joespud Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the tip. I was shooting for the 3* Marriott Tudor Wharf - which had some wins in the $70-$90 range. I do see the 4* Loews for $149 as a PL express deal - minus 5% Price.line code, it is $141-ish so I think your suggestion of $125-$135 is eminently achievable. Link to comment

joespud Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, I'm doing work mapping the whole city of Boston, but prefer something more central to start with. Zones being looked at:Beacon HillBoston CommonCambridge EastCopley SquareDowntown Boston - HarborRevere-Logan airport The 2 properties above are Cambridge East and Copley Square. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm doing work mapping the whole city of Boston...Not clear... are you ready to begin bidding the six zones above? (the Airport zone in Boston is not an area i would generally consider to be 'central') What is your desired star rating and maximum bid amount for this trip?

joespud Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, I don't care which of the 6 zones I'm in. My primary criteria is: Free internet. 3* or higher (have had bad experiences with lesser). Not ridiculously far away. The Comfort Inn, Logan airport, for example, is really, really far away - like 6 miles from Beacon Hill and 44 minutes by metro. I'd rather have the Comfort Inn in South Boston - it is also 44 minutes away from Beacon Hill, but I'm going past all the area I have to work on so is actually a benefit. Budget is how low I can get while meeting the core requirements. At this point we're looking at $150/day or so. The event in Boston around 7/9 is what is screwing things up - costs are up Link to comment
joespud Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Wound up going with the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal: $152 bumped up to $160 for 2 bed, -5% for SUMMER14 promo to go back to original price. $368 total for 2 nights at the Boston Hotel Buckminster Link to comment
