Priceline Hotel: 4* Hotel Requiried Downtown Boston - Charlestown 9.20.07-9.23.07

[Bjolson74]

Hi all,

I'm bidding on 4 rooms for Downtown Boston - Charlestown 9.20.07-9.23.07. Is there any change to the strategy for booking 4 rooms? I've bid up to $140 but no bites. I'm only interested in staying in the Boston Downtown Area. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

What is your maximum bid? What is the best rate you're able to find at a suitable hotel thru conventional methods? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

[Bjolson74]

Thanks for the welcome! Max bid can be in the high 100's. Best rate I can find is 299 a night @ the Onyx. Traveling with family and splitting the bid is not an option. I appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks!
