txgeekboy Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 We really wanted to stay downtown or in Copley area. Perhaps could have gotten a better price if I'd waited until more inventory opened up, but I'd been tracking prices for my dates in a spreadsheet for about 2 months and some had started to go up. 3* downtown rates for my dates were $309 at Marriott Long Wharf, $250 at Holiday Inn Govt. Ctr., $243 at Radisson, $259 at Doubletree, and $253 at Park Plaza.I've read all the reviews here, "that other website", TripAdvisor, Yahoo Travel, both good & bad. I think we'll be very happy (we're not very demanding). The location is FABULOUS!I'd tried to lowball this ($60's & $70's) with weekly bids for a couple of months, decided to go up to $100.I bid $70 on Downtown-Charleston - rejectedI bid $80, added Copley - rejected, but with a $22 higher counterofferI bid $90, added South Boston - acceptedYour Offer Price: $90.00 Extend Your Stay Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 5 Subtotal: $450.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $70.14 Total Charges: $520.14 I used SavingsBarn.com link.
