Is it because I am bidding too early? I have tried upto $90/night for Dec 27-31. I am coming to Houston for a sporting event and figure this is best area to stay in based on reviews (wasn't sure if downtown was better option). Am I unsuccessful as this is too far in advance? There are prices for pre-paid to some hotels in the area for $118/night, which is pretty cheap from where I'm from, just I figured to get a better deal through Priceline.
