Got rejected all the way up to $75/night for Northampton @ 3 stars. Shifted to springfield starting @ $55/nt, was prompted to rebid @ $67, didn't do it, went for $60, got it, done.
Needed something cheap. Bid here and in Brenham for 2.5 stars. This was the first to bite and thank god the holiday in express is almost always comfortable
Worked up in the 3 star category from 60 to 90 across rebid zones aiming for westwood / beverly hills. Started again at 3.5 on just westwood, placed a 100 bid. Failed; it tried to up me to 124. Tried 110 on 3.5 stars using USC as a rebid zone. It accepted it and gave me a 4 star!
