I interested in a 2 star establishment as I am traveling with kids. I would preferably like one with complimentary breakfast in the boston copley - back bay area.

DH has a conference in Westin Copley (10 hungtinton ave). they are sold out. we don't want to stay there but walking distance. Doesn't matter if it is a 10 minute walk.

PLEASE HELP.

We rarely see any wins reported for the 2* level in Copley.

We need to know the following to assist you:

1) What are your dates?

2) How much are you looking to spend?

I need hotel room for June 25-27. I need in Copley -

Back Bay area. I would like to pay under $100. If I can get breakfast that would be great and if there is free parking that is even better.

It should be walking distance (even a 20 minute walk is fine) from Westin Copley.

need hotel in boston copley -back bay area. Please help.

thanks. I need for 6/25 - 6/27. It should be closeby to westin copley where hubby has to attend conference. I have kids so a 2 Star and above would be great. If it includes continental breakfast that's even better.

Please keep everything in this thread, as it's only 1 trip.

There aren't any free rebids at this level. For the 2-2.5* level in Copley, you likely are only bidding on 1-3 hotels. This limits the possibility of being accepted.

If you absolutely need a room for under $100, I'd also consider staying in Downtown Boston and using the subway or taking a taxi. Some hotels in this area are walkable (1-2 miles) to Copley.

Let us know if you'd like to try Downtown and I'll try to create a bidding strategy for you.

[greysanatomy]

actually, I would not mind a higher or lower star rating as long as it as close by to copley. I have kids and want to keep them busy while hubby is away at the conference. hotwire has a $99 hotel (2 adults) in the copley area. Could you let me know what hotel that is?

I would not really prefer downtown but I am not totally against it. I guess than my hubby would need to take a taxi to copley. Don't know how far this is?

please let me know.

it for 6/25 to 6/27.

thanks.

Looking at the amenities and the suggested retail, possibly the HoJo Fenway Park.

For Priceline, I'd try the following:

2.5* Copley

Bid $70, if rejected close browser

2.5* Downtown (by trying this area, you could get a hotel downtown - anywhere between 0.5 to 2 miles)

Bid $70, if rejected add Copley

Bid $80

If this doesn't work, you can either start a little lower and try the 2* level or you could give Hotwire a try.

Ok,

I am willing to try other areas with hotwire or priceline. B/c hubby will have to take a taxi to location. I would really like complimentary breakfast. I see a hotel in the cambridge area- charles river area. Is that anywhere close westin copley? How far is downtown from westin copley? If it is a mile or two DH can take a cab since parking is more to park.

please help. downtown is closer or the financial district?

I've already suggested a Priceline bidding strategy for you try.

Read my previous post for the answer.

They are the same area on Priceline.

I would really like complimentary breakfast.

Many hotels do not offer complimentary breakfast. You can always purchase a box of donuts/bagels/etc along with juice(s) at a local store for your morning breakfast.

Hi

I just returned from my Boston trip and I stayed at the Boston Park Plaza. This 3* hotel is located in the Downtown - Charlestown area at Priceline and is only a walk of 10-15 minutes away from the Westin. The Boston Park Plaza has recently been won at prices around $80-$100 - this could be an alternative to the Copley area.
