Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Downtown-Charlestown) Millenium Bostonian

[AbbyCat4]

Two separate bids for the rooms.

The first room was won last Saturday. First bid of $110 was accepted.

The second room was won this morning. I ended up needing an additional room, after more people decided to travel with us. I took a calculated risk that I would win the same hotel. I checked this forum, the Boston Forum of Trip Advisor, and one other site, and people were winning the Millenium Bostonian fairly consistently in the Downtown - Charlestown zone. I used three bids this morning, using advice from Better Bidding about adding re-bid zones.

1. Bid $90, 4*, Downtown - Charlestown. Rejected.

2. Bid $100, added Medford-Summerville zone (no 4* hotels). Rejected.

3. Bid $110, added Brighton-Brookline zone (no 4* hotels). Accepted.

I realize my risk could have blown up on me, as I could have ended up with a second room at a different hotel. But I got lucky and it worked out.

This was my first Priceline bidding experience, and I will definitely try it again. The information on this forum was invaluable, particularly how to use "free rebids". Thanks for the advice. Great site!
