Priceline 3*
Priceline is making it difficult to bid in Boston for 3*. Downtown has the Boston Park Plaza a lot of bad reviews. Copley has Copley Sqaure Hotel, once again some bad reviews and Cambridge has the Radisson. I'm even scared to bid on a 2 1/2* due to the upgrade factor. Any suggestions?

Boston Park Plaza is in a good location. I've gotten a few priceline stays there. It's not great but if you can get a price, why not stay there? It gets the conventions like Hotel Pennsylvania does in New York. It's past its prime but it still is OK if you get a good deal.

Of those three, the Radisson is probably the worst bet. It is on the Charles River, but quite a distance from any public transportation, dining, business areas, or tourist sites. It was a HOJO's until a few years ago.
