Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston Metro West Newton-Waltham) Sheraton Newton

I was all over the map on this one. Posting bid history might take hours. Trying to stay near Brookline. Traveling on business. Needing 2 rooms may have been a complicating factor. Not too enthused with the hotel aceepting the bid, but it is a bed.

Glad you ultimately got it settled.

I think it is that rates are HIGH for these nites, more so than that you needed two rooms.

Do you recall the amount of your previously rejected bid which included the Newton area?

Thanks for the post and enjoy your stay.

I was pretty aggressive. I worked my way up from about $75 throu the $80s in $5 dollar increments, changing the areas I was bidding in. i.e. Start priceline search in Boston, then Brookline, then Newton, etc... I had seen history that the Doubletree on Cambridge/Alston border accepted bids at $75. I was hoping to land in this property. All worked out. Rooms were scarce as fall leaf season on Columbus day weekend factored in with the womens' soccer from UNC, field hockey from FSU, and volleyball from Clemson in Sheraton for games against BC.
