casperslc Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 I need to stay March 11 and 12 at Danvers, Peabody or Woburn / Wakefield, Massachusetts. The highest star rating is of course the best. Danvers, Peabody and Woburn... Danvers has the most preferred 3 stars. Peabody and Woburn have nice 3 star and 3.5 stars. (these are according to your hotel lists) The lowest price is going to be the deciding factor as I can do all three areas and three stars up.

OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this stay? Also, so we don't suggest a strategy that goes higher than you're willing to pay, what is your maximum bid for this leg of your trip? Please confirm the above and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

casperslc Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 Sorry for the confusion. Your site lists Peabody and Danvers as separate zones. That is what I went by. I am not able to bid outside of these zones. Those are the areas I need to be. The goal is least expensive at a 3 star or above. The advertised rate for some of these hotels is in the 80s. Do you think I could get a 3 star in the 60s? 70s? Thank you.

To move forward, please first have a look at PRICELINE (or use the BiddingHelper.com search box on the top left of this page) and have a look at how PRICELINE defines the boundaries of these zones... you can stay anywhere within the shaded boundaries of the Peabody - Danvers? The nearby Woburn - Wakefield zone is not acceptable? Please confirm and we will advise accordingly.

casperslc Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Posted January 18, 2016 I looked on PRICELINE and Danvers - Peabody and Woburn - Wakefield would be acceptable.

casperslc Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Posted January 22, 2016 I bid up to $80 and did not succeed. I saw an advertisement for the Wakefield Sheraton at $88 a night that includes breakfast. That was a great location and price so I made that reservation. Thank you for your help.
