Maggie Sheu Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 My parents flew to the US to attend my commencement, and I would like to take them around for tours. I planned to take them several cities, and therefore I would like to save some more on logging costs. One of the stops I plan to visit is Boston, and I plan to stay there for 2 nights. Is there any suggestion on bigging on 05/29 - 05/31? I am driving and therefore I would prefer a place with convenient parking option. Additionally, I heard that some areas in Boston are not quite safe; I would avoid those areas for logging options as well. I would like to bid on 3+ hotels with maximum bit 100. Is it doable?
thenewbie Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Welcome!To start, parking in Boston isn't cheap. If you want to park at your hotel, you should expect to pay $25-35/day.For priceline, you will want to learn how to find the rebid areas. There are 3 areas that do not have 3* or 4* hotels. Use the advice in that thread to locate these areas. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $65, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 1...Bid $70, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 2...Bid $75, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 3...Bid $80, if unsuccessful close browser and re-access priceline as you did beforeSelect 4* Copley...Bid $65, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 1...Bid $70, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 2...Bid $75, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 3...Bid $80, if unsuccessful close browser and re-access priceline as you did beforeSelect 4* Downtown and Copley...Bid $85, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 1...Bid $90, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 2...Bid $95, if unsuccessful add re-bid area 3...Bid $100, if unsuccessful close browser and re-access priceline as you did beforeIf this doesn't work, let us know and we'll suggest how to bid the 3* level.
Maggie Sheu Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Posted May 24, 2006 Thank you sooo much for your hints!I managed to get 2 rooms on 05/29 to 05/31 for $85 a night /room at Hyatt Regency Boston. I believe we will have a very pleasant stay. Thank you again!
