Seen by Axel within the last 7 days, most recently Oct 16, 2026. Each rate is per night: the stay's total as a free account pays it, including any fee the hotel collects at check-in, divided by its nights, beside the public rate seen for the same stay, also per night. These are examples, not live inventory: sign up free and Axel checks live rooms and rates for that hotel and those dates. Some hotels are near Boston rather than in it; their row says where.
