Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Newport (South Kingstown) Holiday Inn South Kingstown

[nyctraveler]

Good news is I got a hotel that was not listed on betterbidding.com history for the South Kingstown area (part of the greater Newport area) so here's a new hotel for the list!! This one is quite popular with University of Rhode Island folks due to the close proximity to campus.

Needed two nights in Kingston, RI (near University of Rhode Island) for 11/11 to 11/13/2010. After searching determined my 2.5* hotel could have been Holiday Inn South Kingstown, and 3* hotel could have been Hampton Inn South Kingstown.

Published rates were $94+tax ($106 total) for Holiday Inn, and $109+tax ($123 total) via Kayak.com.

Wasn't sure how low I'd be able to go but tried a few low, unsuccessful bids:

Day 1

1st bid: $45
