Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston (Downtown-Charlestown) Park Plaza

[DDSeeker]

Targetted 3* Downtown. I was hoping for the Park Plaza since I have an event across the street at the Four Seasons.

Failed at $69, so this was the best price available for the day I was staying. This is a Monday night stay, and I booked it less than one week in advance. I've learned that waiting until close to the arrival date works in NYC, but I don't know if it does in Boston, too. I've been watching the Park Plaza on Hotwire and seen its price move between $99-102 for the past two week. That is evidence that waiting didn't help, I guess.

Taxes and fees: $16.56

Total Charge: $86.56

[FWIW, there is a Hotwire Double the Difference Guarantee opportunity in Boston on 12/04/2006. HOTWIRE has the Langham (formerly Le Meridien) for like $334. Octopustravel.com has the Langham for $219, IIRC. It wasn't worth it for me to pick up this DDG opportunity, but I like them when I see them. :) (Note to administrator: The Hotwire hotel list seems to suggest that the Langham and Le Meridien are separate hotels. My understanding is that the Le Meridien property *is* the Langham, now.)]

Congratulations on your win and for getting the hotel you were hoping for!

Looks like a great deal, especially since your commute will just be a few lanes of traffic :)

Thanks for the update to the hotel list and for using the priceline hotel links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay and the conference.
