Priceline Hotel: 2* Kearney Fairfield Inn

[GM Mike]

I miss the good old days when you could readily get rooms in the $20's. Or at least lower $30's.

Bidding history:

6/23/06: Kearney 2* $25

6/24/06: Kearney 2* $28

6/25/06: Kearney 2* $30, Lexington 2* $30, North Platte 2.5* $30

6/26/06: Kearney 2* $32 (counteroffer at $40), Lexington 2* $32, North Platte 2.5* $32

Forced to go ahead and accept the counteroffer -- don't want to wait until the night before to bid again. (The magic number here is probably $36-38)

Marriott website rate was $84, AAA was $80, so just under half off after fees. Not bad. Backup plan was the Days Inn, not nearly as highly rated but with a prepay rate of about $45.
