I used the permutation method. I was looking for a 4* in DT Providence for one night (4/22). Coventry, E. Prov. and Warwick were my free rebid zones. I've cut and pasted my notes for bidding below, if anyone is interested. :)

X = Prov DT.

A = Coventry

B = E. Prov

C = Warwick

4*: 3 free rebid zones = 7 rebids with permutation method

For three free rebid zones:

First bid) New bid: X $80 -> rejected, PL offer to add $22, declined to add money

Rebid #1) Rebid screen: X, add A $85 -> rejected

Rebid #2) New bid: XB $90 -> @@@ accepted @@@

Rebid #3) Rebid screen: XB, add A

Rebid #4) New bid: XC

Rebid #5) Rebid screen: XC, add A

Rebid #6) New bid: XBC

Rebid #7) Rebid screen: XBC

I'm a little sad to learn that there is only valet parking available at this hotel, and it's $24 a day. They definitely zing you on the parking. Does anyone have any recommendations for cheaper parking nearby? I don't mind a short walk. Thanks!

Congratulations on your success!

As for Providence Parking, there are numerous parking lots downtown in addition to on-street parking.

Nothing is scheduled for the Dunk' so rates shouldn't be too high for the weekend.
