Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston (Copley Square-Theatre District) Courtyard Downtown Tremont

[Chrissy NY]

I used to live in Boston suburb, and I've used PRICELINE a lot for booking hotels in Boston.

To be honest, I thought my bid would be rejected, so I didn't think too much before bidding.

And I was impatient, not checking the hotel list before bidding.

I was used to Hilton Back Bay and Park Plaza being 3*, so when I was bidding $50 for 3*,

I was expecting Hilton/Park Plaza or a reject.

Then, tada, the bid was accepted for Courtyard (Tremont St). The published rate is $159, so I guess I got a good deal.

Never been there, never really heard about it, so I am kind of concerned though...

Congratualtions on your win!

I don't know much about this property but $50 certainly seems like a very good deal for a 3* hotel in Boston.

You should always take a quick scan of the hotel lists to see if there have been any reported rating changes. In this particular situation PRICELINE did a major restructuring of their rating system 3-4 months ago, eliminating the Boutique class, and adding a new 3.5* category. In this process many 3* hotels were upgraded to 3.5* properties and some 2.5* properties were upgraded to 3* (many/most of the Courtyards went from 2.5* to 3*)

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
