Successful bidding on March 1, 2007 for 2 nights (March 2 to 4, 2007):

My goal was to get a 3* hotel room for the weekend in downtown Kingston. I started bidding for a 3* at $45, and worked up to $75, in $5 increments, over the course of several days, without any luck. Eventually, it was the day before my trip and I had to book something, so I bid $90 and my price was accepted.

Rate:

The best available rate from the hotel Web site for the same dates was $115 USD ($134 CAD) per night.
