Thanks for the offer...tried many different combinations through PRICELINE for the dates and had no luck for anything 3.5* and up.... A few more last minute changes led to a more complicated booking - ended up getting thursday night via hotwire at the seaport hotel at 259 just around the corner from my conference hotel.....friday & saturday in the end had to get 2 rooms as will be with a friend - ended up getting the royal sonesta in cambridge direct at 240 - the only 3.5* and up hotel in Boston I could find availability for at a rate under 500 a night for my dates.... and yes i used the HOTWIRE link :)

Well aware that hotel prices are date specific, have just a lil experience staying in them :) - hence the query - it is not always obvious what is on in a certain town half a world away on every day.....Graduation weekend is a new one, but at least I know so thanks....interesting re: the search on other hotels...will definitely have to broaden the ole search then..... Thanks.....very long time lurker, and been a member for a while....thought I may as well post for a change!Backup plans - now I know what is on - will be just to change area and go from there it will be fine...just a late decision to tack a few days onto a conference where I have a hotel on the harbourfront.... And dont worry of course I use the links!! Cheers

Have bid up to $250 thus far in these areas 19/05/11-22/05/11 and had no luck. Have seen in the forum previous posts with accepted bids of between $100-$150 in the same area. Is there anything on in Boston around this time that is affecting prices?
