It tails in with Labor Day Weekend, so I'm wondering if that could account for the high prices, in which case, probably better to go ahead now rather than wait. We were hoping to spend around 50 a night, but may need to go higher based on the date. Thoughts?

Thanks for the help!

If you go to our Priceline Maps and...

1) Enter Portland, ME

2) UNCHECK all the MONTHS except for SEPTEMBER

You'll see that 3* hotels in this zone typically go for more than $50 during this timeframe. As well, now place a checkmark next to August to include this in the search results since that is a close to your dates as well and you'll see the date range increases even more.

This, in addition to the 'higher than usual' rates mentioned above, imply that you'll likely need to bid more than $50 for this trip.

Using the BiddingHelper.com, what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel thru conventional booking channels?
