Took the bull by the horns and, after reading the tutorial on this site re: PL bidding -- went for it. qst bid: 4* downtown[ bid $90 - rejected. 2nd bid selected 3* (tried to do the rezone thing). put in $100. Got the Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Would have been nice to get a 4* and wondering if $90 would have been accepted when I downgraded to 3*, but I think I still did well and this seems to be a nice hotel. Seems like a good location and I like the fact it is on the National Historic Hotel Registry. PL shows it as $189/nt, Hotel's website shows even higher prices and sold out, so I did well. I was willing to spend on hotwire was $117/nt for a 3* hotel which I have a feeling was going to be the Doubletree in the theater district. This is a great website and I am really glad I found you. so I think I did OK. If anyone has any info on this hotel. would be interested in knowing. Thanks
