wliwlCindy Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 On 10/11 I bid $35 for 2 rooms 3* in Newton-Waltham MA for Thanksgiving (11/25 - 11/28) and was denied.On 10/17 I re-bid $36 (the general going rate) and was denied.So far I have a cancelable (?) reservation at the Waltham Doubletree for a reasonable rate; I might just stick with that for now as we will only need one room there.

AaronJB Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Good evening. :)What is the rate that you have for the Doubletree?HOTWIRE has a 3* in this area for these dates for $77 and a 4* for $93. $36 for a 3* is going to be too low, unfortunately, but you may have success around the $50 mark.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links, and let us know if you have any questions.

wliwlCindy Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have $94, which is the AAA rate. Not cheap - but I've stayed there several times and it is a nice place. We're traveling with 2 older kids - so we either need two regular hotel rooms or the suite will work fine. I've seen the 3* hotels going in Waltham for $36, but not for more than 2 nights...and not at Thanksgiving - I'm not sure how that effects things. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 In most instances Thanksgiving is a slow time for hotels... virtually no business travelers, and leisure travelers often stay with family, thus leaving amny rooms unoccupied.Have you tried search HOTWIRE for 4adults (and/or 2adults/2children)?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
