bndgeek Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I was looking for something on a weekend when I knew everything was booked due to commencement ceremonies. 2.5* stars on the Cambridge side of the river were going for over $400 according to the priceline list, and friends were all telling stores of having to fork it over for that weekend. I selected almost all acceptable zones (keeping fenway as an easy rebid), including Brighton-Brookline, Cambridge, Copley-Theatre, and Quincy-Faneuil-Financial. I didn't want to go much over 100 without exploring other options. I bid 101 for a 4* - rejected -- not a surprise given the weekend, but I have been lucky enough to win at this level/price in Boston before!I bid 101 for a 3.5* - rejectedI bid 101 for a 3* - rejectedI bid 102 for a 2.5* - accepted. Won the Holiday Inn Brookline. 2.5 miles from where I want to be, easy subway access. It will meet my needs. I am very happy to be paying hundreds less than my friends! Link to comment
