Haven't used priceline in a few years...so when my wife said "Hey, lets go to Baltimore!", I thought I better head over to Better Bidding to do some quick homework.
Linked through Betterbidding to PRICELINE --

GREAT HOTEL AND FREE PARKING for the entire trip with shuttle service!!!!
First time trying Priceline based on the recommendation of a friend and reading this site! Pretty much was ok with any of the 4* listed in this SF area. My first choice was the Parc 55, but this was my second. I'd say did well!

First off, can't edit the topic...sorry about that
Dates are 7/23/10 to 7/24/10 ($70)
Was really hoping for CC/CH area and did NOT want to go above $70. Used the BB PRICELINE
link.
Bid History today, 7/19:
Started 4* CC/CH zone only for $50. Knew based on BB history that I probably would not have any luck, and didn't.
Added 3.5*, upped bid to $55. No luck.
Added Downtown-Whitehouse zone and up to $60, no luck.
Added 3* up to $65 no luck.
Did not want below 3*...so to rebid today I added 1* (risky if they added a hotel but research shows they most likely did not) as to not get stuck with a possible 2 or 2.5*. Upped to $70 and won.
List on this hotel is $139 so I'm happy with the price, but slighly out of the way from where I want to be. No complaints since I'm fully aware of the risks of PRICELINE.
