Well, getting a good room for the whole 7 days did not work with my budget constraints. So I talked to Mama and got her to agree that splitting between two hotels was best. So I began bidding for Priceline just for the weekend -- May 29 to Jun 1. Ended up (going a bit above budget) w/ $145 for Omni Berkshire in MTE -- very happy with this hotel. Also, they let me extend for three more days for a modest increase -- even better! In summary, Omni Berkshire (4* MTE) 3 nights @ $145 3 nights @ $186 Still need a room for the 7th night, but changing hotels for just that last night will be easy. May go w/ HOTWIRE for the last night or try PRICELINE again. In any case, I will use this site. THANKS.
