Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston (Waterfront-Convention Center) Renaissance Waterfront

[KL803]

Hi all

I'm looking for a 4* in Boston 9/12-9/14. It might be a bit too early to bid up to $ 150 on Priceline, so I searched on Hotwire and found $ 152 4* in Cambridge with this amenities:

- Fitness Center

- High speed Internet

- Spa

- Restaurant

- indoor Pool

- business Center

With the 120+, 4/5 TripAdvisor reviews and the Spa I would identify this as the Royal Sonesta. Am I right? Would this be a really good deal? $ 150 would be the maximum budget for me ($ 152 would be just marginally over). What would be your suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Wouldn't be a good deal. Orbitz.com has it for $143.

Please use the site's link to Orbitz.com if you do decide to book.

Expedia.com has the same deal and Hotels.com may as well.

Additionally, this way you're getting a refundable (although check the fine print for cancelation fees and other details) reservation.

Wouldn't be a good deal. Orbitz.com has it for $143.

AaronJB, are you using a coupon code to get these rates on Orbitz & Expedia? Because I did the hotel search and got a $ 167 rate on both Orbitz & Expedia for my dates.

[AaronJB]

Actually, I wasn't using a coupon code, but I did just find one for Expedia.

The $143 rate comes up when searching for 1 person, not 2.

Also, if you use coupon code vacation10 on Expedia, you get an extra $10 off, making it $133 a night. Even better.

Please use the site's link to Expedia.com if you do decide to book this listing.

Thanks for the coupon code, it might become handy! I'm not sure if I can book this for just 1 person because I'm travelling with my wife :)

The room referenced above is labeled "individual traveller" room and only one contains one double bed, so i think it would be a bit of a risk booking for double occupancy (unless you were willing to shar a double bed... which would be uncomfortable, imo)

Of course if want this property you could try the original plan and try to obtain it thru HOTWIRE.

In previous posts I was looking for a 4* hotel in Boston. After further research, I was happy to bid for a 3* Hotel because most of them get good reviews on TripAdvisor. So, here's my bidding history:

- First, I bid up to $100 for a 4* Hotel in all areas except Logan-Airport, all rejected

- Then started my bid with $60 for Copley Square 4* and 3*, rejected

- increased my bid to $67, added Financial District, rejected

- increased my bid to $75, added Waterfront, accepted at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront.

I'm happy with this result! Thanks for BetterBidding, always great advise! Of course, I used the Priceline Link here!
