Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Copley Square - Back Bay) Sheraton Boston Hotel

[srgreene]

Got this deal for 2 nights (Thursday and Friday) in the city.  Best rate on starwoodhotels.com (and Priceline view all deals) was $258.  Priceline Express Deal for this hotel (4* with same amenities) was $163.

Started "Name Your Own Price" bidding at 4* Copley for $130.  Got the Priceline marketing "Counteroffer" message and wanted me to add $75 to bid again right there.  No thanks.

I added free rebid zones (that have no 4* hotels):
Watertown for $140, Saugus for $145, South Boston for $150 and then Jamaica Plain for $152 and got it.

Room subtotal: $304
Trip protection: $10
Taxes & Fees: $58.20
Total charged: $372.20

We know the parking will be steep but we're ok with that as we're splurging for a couple nights in the city with our boys.  I actually added the Trip Insurance for $5/night just in case someone gets sick and we can't make the trip.  Usually if someone is very sick, you can't go, and if you get a doctor's note then you can send that in, it's the only way a refund is offered on Priceline.  In our case, worth the $10 for a $372 two-night stay.
