Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Revere-Logan Airport BOS) Hilton Airport

[Aggie0815]

Hi y'all,

I would like to ask for some help with the following situation:

I'll be staying in Boston from 4/27 to 4/30 and would like to stay a 3* or 4* hotel in the downtown area. Copley or World Trade Center are ok, too - as long as it's walking distance from downtown. I would like to spend less than $85/night (excl. tax)

After reading through some of the threads here I tried the following over the past week:

Starting at $51 and increasing in steps of $3-$5 up to $85 using the various re-bid zones and timeouts everything came back rejected.

Any ideas how to be successful? Or am I just too early?

Thanks a lot

Welcome!

The WTC area isn't really a 'tourist' area and it isn't won frequently (if at all).

If you don't want to increase your bid, you may have success under $100 in the 4* Airport/Revere area as well as in Cambridge. The T (subway) covers the city, so transportation from these two areas shouldn't be a problem. If you'd like additional assistance, let us know.

Finally succeeded tonight, got Hilton Boston Logan for $65/night 4/27-4/30.

Was this your first bid, or did you bid up to $65?

[Aggie0815]

I bid up to it:

Started with Logan $55, rejected,

then added Medford $57, rejected but offered to bid again if I increase price by $17,

restarted with Logan & South Boston $61, rejected

then all three $65 and it was accepted.

I tried Downtown for the same prices before I went to Logan, no luck...
