toothmom Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Am trying to decipher what hotel probabilities are for hotwire 3.5-4* in Copley Square area of Boston recently. Am trying to keep it at or below $150. Need 2 beds (my son and myself on a college visiting trip) Feb 21-25. Any help would be appreciated.
thenewbie Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Welcome to the boards! If you haven't used Priceline or Hotwire before, please take a look through this thread: I've never used Priceline or Hotwire, -how does it work?Once you understand how priceline and hotwire works, feel free to look at the Hotwire & Priceline lists of reported hotels for Massachusetts: hereKeep in mind that these lists may not be complete, so as always, ask for assistance if you have any questions.To help you for your dates, would you be willing to stay in the Downtown area, rather than only in Copley? Downtown tends to be cheaper and using the T is an easy and cheap way to get around in Boston. Currently, Hotwire appears to have a 4* DT hotel around $90/night, which could likely be won for less on Priceline if you're willing.And a sidenote about bedding: Priceline and hotwire only guarantee occupancy for 2 adults (unless you select higher on Hotwire). After booking on either site, you can request two beds by contacting the hotel directly. In many cases, depending on the city and their capacity, the hotel should be able to provide you with 2 beds.

Any help would be appreciated....and to answer your hotel question, we need more information that is shown on Hotwire. What amenities are shown for each hotel? (i.e. 4* Copley, Restaurant, Pool, etc.)
toothmom Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Posted February 17, 2006 :) Thanks to the advice gained here, I bid $85 on 4* Copley Sq on priceline and got the Fairmont, Copley Sqare!!!
