Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Downtown-Charlestown) Omni Parker House

[QueensU]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a 4* hotel in the Boston Back Bay area (which I think is Copley on priceline) for this weekend, Sept 22 for 3 nights. Can you please suggest bidding strategy and prices?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that my goal would be to pay as close to $100 a night as possible.

... and Chicago?

I haven't had much luck on Priceline today for this request

First time: Sept 22-Sept 25, 4*

Copley Bid $90, rejected

Free rebid $95, rejected

Free rebid $100, rejected

Free rebid $115 rejected

Second try: Sept 22-25

Copley Bid $120, rejected

Free rebid $125, rejected

Free rebid $130, rejected

Free rebid $135 rejected

Any advice on how high I will have to go to get a 4* in Copley? How long do I have to wait before I can bid again?

You can rebid after 24 hours. If you are looking to stay close to $100, I'd consider staying Downtown before bidding higher in the Copley Area.

Even HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel in the Quincy Market/Financial District area for around $125/night. You can likely get a lower rate on Priceline.

I ended up going up to $160 USD/night for Copley to no avail.

So I expanded to Downtown, brought my bid down to $100/night and got a room at the Omni Boston Parker House on the first try.
