Priceline Hotel: 3* Boston (Downtown-Charlestown) Boston Park Plaza

[lwitchel]

I was bidding for weekends in Boston and Philadelphia; the Boston weekend took a good deal more work. Bids up to 4* $80 and 3* 60 had been rejected three days previous.

$60-$85 rejected at 4* this go-round (involving lots of closing the window and restarting in different free zone combinations).

$60 at 3* produced a "raise your bid $17 and try again" message. So did $63 and $65 (I had restarted on each bid). $68 got the Park Plaza. Again, I'm traveling alone so hopefully the room won't be too cramped! After 40 minute subway journeys to get downtown from the Tage Inn in Somerville, I'm prepared to give up some room quality for a more central location.

Nice deal.. and thank for the detailed report.

Boston is notoriously a tough, and expensive, hotel market. The deals don't seem that great, but relative to traditional rates they're still a steal.

Have a great stay.
