Priceline Hotel: What price to offer for 4*in Copley Place in Oct/early Nov

[*CeeCee*]

Hi complete Priceline virgin here and looking for some help :) .

Hoping to book a 4* hotel for October early November 2010 in Boston, Copley Place seams to be the most central location for shopping etc or is there any other location i should be looking at ?

What figure should i start bidding at for this time of year roughly? Im not from the US so is there any specific holiday dates in October or early November that would bump up the price?

Thanks for your help :)

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

What would be your budget per night and desired star rating? What are the exact dates of travel?

Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Basically a 1 week stay in the month of October would any particular dates be better than others? like midweek to midweek?

Budget maybe i have high expectations for a 4* but max of $100 per night??

After doing a bit more research i think i will have to up my room price to a max of $130 per night.

Is there a strategy behind bidding?

We need to know your firm dates to help you.

If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post the zone(s) you're willing to stay in.

So it's max $130/night and a 4* hotel?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

If your plan is to do some shopping and sight-seeing, Copley/Back Bay is probably the best but keep in mind that Boston is quite small and very easy to get around in. Quincy Market, Common/Theater District, Financial, any of those would be pretty good and central enough to make shopping and sight-seeing easy. You could even stay in Cambridge and be just a few minutes by T (the subway) to Park Street.

I think you'll find better prices in November than October.

I would also add Harbor Front- Aquarium as a central zone. October is an expensive month which usually requires a bid of well over $100, or even over $200 in some cases.
