yossarian Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I've been trying to he bid on a 3.5* in the Bedford/Burlington, MA area and have been unsuccessful. I have made it all the way up to $75, and added Lexington as a zone (no 3.5*s there), but still cannot get a bid accepted. It is right before Memorial Day weekend, so that could be the problem. Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I just being unrealistic? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 The issue could be that this is near the holiday weekend - is HOTWIRE showing any listings of interest?Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

I guess I will just go with the Hampton Inn, which is in a good location for us and at a decent price point. Link to comment
yossarian Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Went down to 3* and bid $65, was accepted at the Hyatt Summerfield Suites Burlington. This is after going all the way up to $90 for 3.5* in the area. I f.eel like I won for losing.I believe that this is a NEW Priceline hotel for Bedford/Burlington and probably should be added to the list.The hotel gets solid reviews on TripAdvisor and, checking rates, it appears that I did better than 2 nights for the price onf 1.By the way, I used the links from this site for bidding.
