Priceline Hotel: 3.5* or 4* Boston Copley Square - Back Bay

[cousinkap]

I am trying to get 3.5 or 4 stars in Copley Square, Downtown or theater district.  I have bid up to $155 but have been unsuccessful.

 

Any tips or suggestions?

What would be your desired max bid per night for this stay?

i would like to stay under $165 since another bidder got it for $135 the same dates.

I believe this is the Priceline hotel win you are referring to which is not for the same dates as your own, as that win was for 4/29-5/1, whereas your dates are 4/29-5/2, and rates can differ substantially from one day to the next.  I'm not saying this is the case, but what if rates for each of your 3 nites (individually) were:
$135 - $135 - $350

... would you still expect to be able to replicate the other user's win for $135 (given their win was only for the first 2 nites)?

 

To bid up to $165/nite, did you want to first try for a 4* hotel up to this amount, then if rejected lower to the 3.5* level... OR is the goal the least expensive 3.5* or better for this stay?

 

Please confirm and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.
