Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston Copley theatre district help

[Mitten1011]

I've been trying to get a room for 5/31-6/3. I've tried 4* and 3*. The last price I got up to was $82. I was hoping to get a room for less than $100. Am I wasting my time??

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. a 3* or are you looking for the least expensive 3 star or better hotel for these nites?

What is the best rate you're able to find thru conventional means? (use our BetterChecker to help in rsearching rates)

I would like to get the cheapest price for a three star. I saw that people were getting 3* hotels for the same area between $60-$80. I just haven't had any luck. The cheapest I've seen through Better Checker was $159 and it wasn't right in Boston. $100 is really the most I can afford to spend per night. Thanks so much for your help. :)

Hi there.

I'm looking for basically the same thing with slightly different dates, (3* or 4* in Copely or Quincy 5/22-5-25) so I didn't feel it neccessary to start a new thread.

I've been following the site for a while now, bidding and rebidding etc for a few weeks with no luck.

My question is: what does "Close browser and use our link to re-access" do? Does it negate the 24 hour wait period and allow to keep bidding, even when I'm already using the links here to bid in the first place?

Also, does the fact that I need 2 rooms make a significant difference?

Thanks.

Molly

Thanks.

Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be. I got up to $100 with no luck. I appreciate the help though!!

Is your gameplan to try again, lower your star rating, raise your maximum bid, cancel the trip, stay outside the city?

[Mitten1011]

I'm not really sure what to do. I really thought I would get something. I def. don't want to raise my bid. Am I being unrealistic trying to get a room for less than $100 or should I keep trying?
