Shadow, I can't help finding a cheap room however,if it's true misery loves company...then this will make you feel better. I have to be at an early A.M. meeting in the copley plaza area in late sept. The westin is, A)extorting B)ripping off C) violating my walet, to the tune of $389 FOR A STANDARD ROOM for one night. I normally average about $50-80 a night.
