Priceline Hotel: 4* Boston (Revere-Logan Airport BOS) Hyatt Harborside

[themysciran]

I would love to get a room at the Boston Logan Airport Hilton for one night on 6/27. I want to be right on airport property. I don't want to bid more than $100. If I bid 4*, I won't end up in Saugus or anything, will I? Also, how low can I start?

I've frequently stayed at Logan through Priceline. You cannot guarantee winning a specific hotel through Priceline, but if you stick with 4* hotels at Logan and win you'll be either at the Hilton or the Hyatt. Both are lovely hotels, on the airport property with shuttle service, and I can highly recommend both.

This is the strategy I use when bidding for Logan, and I think it's the same that thereuare would recommend.

Select 4* Logan

Bid $65, if rejected add Brighton/Brookline...

Bid $70, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline.

Select 4* Logan and Medford...

Bid $75, if rejected add Brighton...

Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline.

Select 4* Logan and South Boston...

Bid $85, if rejected add Brighton...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline.

Select 4* Logan and Medford and South Boston...

Bid $95, if rejected add Brighton...

Bid $100.

To guarantee that you are on the airport property, DO NOT lower your star rating in this zone.

If staying at the Hilton (rather than the Hyatt) is your priority, I would watch what comes up on HOTEWIRE where you have a good chance of identifying the hotel. Both the Hilton and Hyatt icons will show shuttle, restaurant, pool, fitness, and high-speed internet, but only the Hilton will show a business center.

While I have been successful bidding further out, I've found that I'm most successful in this zone when bidding 2-4 weeks out. If it were me, I'd start bidding now but would book a cancelable back-up hotel if I wasn't immediately successful.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to help further.

Good luck!

And finally, thereuare would say:

Sorry that this trip was almost two years ago and I didn't post then. I don't remember the exact details of my results. However, I do remember that I followed these directions and got a hotel on airport property: the Hyatt. It was between $75 and $85. I did link to PRICELINE from this site.
