Yes, I did use the PRICELINE links... was I supposed to put that in my post re the winnings?

Thanks for the great site.

Bidding on 4 rooms for one night. Was hoping to get one of the hotels closer to downtown (the Renaissance is up on a hill by the State House, but still close.) Wanted to keep it at 4* though, since the 3.5* Marriott is further out of downtown and not idea. Wish I got Westin, but can't complain with the price! This was my first bid.

Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $65.00 (USD)

Number of Rooms: 4

Number of Nights: 1

Room Subtotal: $260.00 (USD)

Taxes and Fees: $45.24 (USD)

Total Room Cost: $305.24 (USD)

Now moving on to the Boston leg of the trip.... definitely going to be more! :)

Have been to USW / Nob / USE a bunch of times, was banking on getting this Hyatt to be near the water. Planning to call and haggle for bay-facing room. Looks like parking can be found locally for <$25 a night, hopefully, if willing to walk a couple blocks.

I started with just this area at $71, then added non-4-star areas one by one, upping the bid a few dollars each time until it passed. Took 4 tries (added SFO/San Bruno, Fisherman's, and Civic Center.)

I would have liked the Omni, but even with the extra fees, this is still a good deal. Here's my total:

Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $85.00

Subtotal: $170.00

Taxes & Fees: $35.16

Total Charges*: $205.16

Happy bidding, all!
