Just booked through HOTWIRE: Sheraton, Copley Square/Back Bay. $104.00 ($127.95 w/ tax TOTAL cost - ok you'll have to pay to park, but you'll have to do this anywhere) 10/23/2010 Sat night Love this hotel - we walk to the farmer's market on Sunday morning and get breakfast. I've usually waited until my husband finds out if he gets a spot in the race with the lottery, but then I'm bidding very close to the dates. Decided to book early this year...very good idea. History - 2007 Holiday Inn Express paid $252 (and we booked early) never again! not a bad place, but just so expensive for what it is. then I learned at least to stay in nicer places for the same amount through Hotwire... 2008 SAME Sheraton Copley Square purchased Oct 2nd ($215 all-in) 2009 Royal Sonesta purchased Oct 7th ($250 all-in) hope you all find this helpful :)
