I have been trying to get the Marriott Pontiac for several days. The highest I bid with my free re-bid zones was $55. Today I was able to secure this hotel with a bid of $48, then $52, and then $60, using the free re-bid zones. The Marriott Pontiac has good reviews so I'm happy with the outcome.

First bid was $45. They offered a second free rebid at $58. I won two rooms at this $58 rate. The hotel seems to have good reviews, so I'm happy with the win.

When I accepted the offer on Hotwire, I thought this would be LaQuinta Inn Sedona. Oh well, I'm sure it will be adequate since we will only be in the area for one night. Here is the information I received from Hotwire: Sedona - Days Inn 2991 Hwy 89-A West Sedona, Arizona 86339 (928) 282-9166 Check-in:Tue, Apr 18, 2006 Check-out: Wed, Apr 19, 2006 Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast <amenity names only please... not descriptions> Pool(s) Property offers at least one pool area; hours and dates of operation may be seasonal.

My first bid was $40 and accepted. The travel websites are quoting $90-125 per night, so I'm happy with the deal I got.

Because of the suggestion of the proximity of the airport to the Back Bay area, I decided to try to book the Copley area instead of Logan since nothing affordable and identifiable was showing up on Hotwire. Today I placed another bid (with two free rebids) on Priceline for Boston Back Bay, up to $140, and they were not accepted. I decided to use 1,000 Starwood Preferred Guest points and received 50% off the rack rate at the Sheraton Boston for that night. I ended up with a rate of $154 which is close to what I received on the Hotwire deal for earlier in the week (7/16-18). Thanks for everyone's help. I have learned A LOT from this board!!!

4* Logan with Medford and South Boston zones as my free rebids. I can't remember the exact $ increments I bid in, however.

Last evening I decided to just book it unknown. At that price, and for only one night before our flight, I thought it was a good deal. Unfortunately, when I went back into Hotwire the deal was gone! I still need one night (July 20) near the airport at a reasonable rate. There is currently a 4* at Logan for $199, which is more than we are paying for downtown. There is also a 2.5* for $132. Too much for that star rating, I think. I also tried Priceline, using rebid zones and going up to $85--no luck either. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks

Any idea which hotel this could be? July 20-21 3* Best Value $79 Selected amenities include: Airport Shuttle Restaurant(s) Pool(s) Fitness Center Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service)

I originally saw this posted on Hotwire at $138. Last week it took a jump from $142 to $152 overnight. I should have purchased it sooner. This will be our first trip to Boston, and from what I can see, this is still a good deal overall. 1 room(s) @ $152.00 per night x 2 night(s) $304.00 Hotel Taxes and fees: $42.95 Hotel Subtotal $346.95 Total Price $346.95 -Restaurant(s) -Pool(s) -Fitness Center -Exercise equipment -High-Speed Internet Access -Business Center
