Priceline Hotel: 2.5* The Black Hills (Spearfish) Holiday Inn

[GTF]

We don't mind where we stay in The Black Hills, but prefer Spearfish, so I mostly concentrated on Rapid City and Spearfish.

I started at 3*, Rapid City, $45 and then increased by $5 increments until $70, and then rebid at 2.5* at the same increments (re-bidding by adding Blackhawk & Custer - - both 2* zones).

I then started bidding 2*, rebidding by adding new zones from $45-$65.

Today, I started with 2.5*, Spearfish at $75. I was declined, but received an offer - - add $22 for a room. I choose not to, and instead added Rapid City at $80 and my offer was accepted at the Holiday Inn in Spearfish.

I'm pretty happy since I was offered a chance to bid $22 more for a room, but declined and then got a room for only $5 more. Although, I'm slightly bummed because I was hoping to pay less, but it's the summer and a touristy area.

It came to $97.89 with taxes and fees.
