City: Kingston, Ontario Hotel: Kingston Holiday Inn Waterfront Date: 7/1 to 7/3 (2 nights) Price: $70 / night, total with fees $161.26 I knew this was going to be tough. For one thing, Hotwire does not have hotels in this area. Secondly, Priceline shows Kingston as a single area, with only 2 hotel classes, so I can only have 2 bid attempts really. Thirdly, it's Canada Day / Independence Day long weekend, so hotels in this area are hot! I mean hot! Comfort Inn is charging C$105 for a promo rate. Nonetheless here are my bids: Bid #1 - Kingston, 3 Stars, $45 - Rejected Bid #2 - Kingston, 2+3 Stars, $50 - Rejected Bid #3 - Kingston, 3 Stars, $55 - Rejected Bid #4 - Kingston, 2+3 Stars, $60 - Rejcted At this point I have booked the Comfort Inn promo rate mentioned above as a backup, and I'm not willing to pay anything higher than US$60 for a 2 star, so I'm only going to try the 3 Star (which I was quite sure was going to be the Holiday Inn). Bid #5 - Kingston, 3 Stars, $70 - Accepted Not sure if I could have had this for $65 but I guess I'm not going to worry about it. It still comes out to cheaper than the Comfort Inn and it's a much better location. Parking on site is C$5.50 a night which is nothing. In any case I'm happy I got what I wanted. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Take care all.
