Got it! I bid $85 for 3* hotels in Downtown, Cambridge, Back Bay and World Trade Center, and was counter offered at $107. I skipped the counter offer and rebid $92 by adding South Boston it got accepted. The hotel is Hyatt Regency Cambridge. Good enough! Thanks everyone for your input. p.s. Hyatt's own website quoted $240, but Hotwire had a 4* hotel in Cambridge for $126. So in the end my $92 bid saves me about $34. Not bad, but not phenomenal either. I think 9/15 was not a good day for bargain hunting.
