Yeah, I meant the incongruous rates and offers between the ALL site and the Fairmont website. It's kind of annoying to be honest to always have to double check. Your Mulesoft bot sounds like a handy tool! How difficult was it to set up?
It's actually a corporate system that I implemented for my employer, so way overkill for this purpose! The boss lets me use it for a few personal things. If you're looking for a scaled down version that would probably work well and not have the steep learning curve of Mulesoft (or the steep price), then look at Microsoft Power Automate. For all of my future hotel and car rental bookings, I have it regularly re-checking rates, to let me know if there's a price drop or a new promo, so I can call and get the rate adjusted downward. It's actually a fairly simple program. It runs some rate searches for some desired dates, writes the rates to a database, and if the recent rate found is lower than previous rates, it fires off an e-mail to me.

And, yeah, past Thanksgiving and into November, the place will be dead. Lowest prices of the year.
