I bid on a 3-star in Topeka - North area. I bid $26 + $10 bonus bucks. Priceline rejected the bid. So, I added the West area, but did not increase the bid. Priceline then accepted the bid! The weird thing is that it put me in the Capitol Plaza, which is in the North area. Total cost to me was only $38.65! The room was for May 3, 2012, to May 4, 2012. The hotel was nice, but I didn't think it merited a 3-star rating. Also, no free breakfast. Not a huge deal for me, but many 1-star and 2-star hotels have a free breakfast.
