Waiting it out seemed to work out great this time. I noticed a PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE deal for a boutique hotel that matched the description of the Liberty. At around 115USD first bid, I was told to bump it up to around 148USD to win it now. I decided to start doing some incremental bidding on the property, and locked in at 138USD. The previous failed bid was around 133-134USD, so there's some potential wiggle room there for any others. I'm very happy with this deal! Thanks for helping out with the process!

Yes, I am leaning towards your recommendations. Do those higher tier (4+) have additional charges? When I tried to bid via priceline, I saw another fee/tax component. Are there also any recommendations for Boston overnight parking? My girlfriend and I are driving from Toronto, and since we don't need parking in the city, I've heard some people find a place to park outside the core.

Thanks for the feedback! Great knowledge and tips there. It sucks but it's true as you said in pt3, that they know you need a room. I am leaning towards the HOTWIRE option, as I worry that there's a chance I could get a place like the Boston Park Plaza when doing PRICELINE. Are there any other affordable 3 star + options in the downtown area that you would recommend?

I was having trouble placing some bids for downtown Boston core (Cambridge East - Back Bay - Harborfront - Beacon Hill - Theatre District - Seaport) for 3 stars, up to 140 USD. Will prices come down if I wait until the night before? I'm surprised it's still so expensive from a Monday to Thursday. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
