Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Downtown - Charlestown) Hyatt Regency

[laplaya]

Can't change the header, but this really is Boston and not Miami.

Previous bidders had won this hotel for $50 in November and December, so started my bidding at $50 for 4*.

I was originally trying for Dec. 17-20, but couldn't get anything accepted as high as $75, so decided to split my stay. Bid $50 for Dec 18-20, and got it on my first bid at $50.

Then tried to get Dec. 17 for $50. Used all my free re-bids to $70 for that night and all were rejected. Tried again 72 hours later and still not able to get the room for 1 night. Perhaps should've split the dates equally, Dec. 17-18, and Dec. 19-20??

Will try again later in the week. Any suggestions for getting the 1 night at a similar rate, or should I go ahead and raise the bid much higher?

I did notice that the taxes and fees are proportionately much higher for a 1-night stay than for a longer stay.

Congratulations on your (partial) win.

Please start a NEW TOPIC if you'd like help with the balance of your stay.

Thanks!

It's odd that you were rejected up to $70 for 12/17, the Hyatt Regency is only $159 directly. Something must not be working properly, even Hotwire is showing it for about $145.

In your new thread: Are you planning on waiting it out or are you going to try some other location (i.e. Copley or Logan Airport)?

I have noticed that the Hyatt will give reservations on Saturday night through Priceline.

I meant to say NOT give reservations.

i have just booked this hotel through hotwire and when i checked tonight (It is evening in the UK) it was showing availability for the 17th at $76

is it worth considering this method of completing your booking :)
