Thank you! We might end up using Priceline Express or Hotwire instead of bidding in hopes we can *maybe* avoid Red Lion. (If we end up with Red Lion, oh well.) To answer your questions my budget is $400 max including taxes, fees, etc. I've been lucky a couple of times to get this at Wyndham (old Crowne Plaza). Either way, I will use the better bidding links to book and post my win.
