So I"m thinking that the hotels already know when the concert is - and since Comcast mentioned on FB that Jimmy would be back it makes sense. Comfort Inn is $96 a night for the weekend of June 14 - for the next weekend it's $160! They must be getting wise to how we play this.

Ironically, I think the Red Roof was vice versa as far as cost and dates. But I do have to admit, after 4 hours of sleep, the Comcast FB post did put a smile on my face.

Ditto, that's why I was checking it all out today. I'll reserve the RR tomorrow just in case

I just looked. The Roof is more the same weekend as the Comfort Inn. is it Buffett inflation or something brewing in Foxboro.

I am guessing the bummer is about the rate change.

Ahh, well, that's the norm. I just recalled Colleen mentioning some summer travel...she'll just have to reschedule if it is 6/21.

No just bummer about the rate change -- neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night could keep me from JB @ GW now that I have seen the Promised Land! Actually 6/21 is Mike's birthday, so that would be really fun. AND usually summer solstice, so it could be a BEAUTIFUL night! We will be making reservations @ RR this weekend like the rest of you! (Nan -- you are right about our vaycay -- trying for July)

My luck it will be on the 22nd of June, my Saturday to work, so I will have to ask someone to switch Saturdays like last year.

we have 3 weekends at the RR booked -- all at the AAA (NO -- NOT AARP) rate of $81 per night.
I'm going back to reserve the weekend of June 7-8 (just in case).

Just made mine for the 21-23, next is the 14-16. I'm just not going to pay the extra for the Comfort Inn, it's ridiculous

You don't need to , they just announced that Dispatch & Guster (whoever that is) will be there on Sat the 8th.
I can't get the 14-16 to come up on the RR site - it keeps changing it to this weekend! And when I call I get put on hold and then it cuts off.
Really Red Roof, you aren't a good enough hotel to have crappy service besides.

already did and since there's no cancellation fee until after 6:00 p.m. on arrival date I'll just hang on to the reservations until the JB tour dates come out (if we didn't have bad luck, we'd have none at all

)
