Started out on Priceline, using the Link from this page.
Convention Center / Gas lamp south Zone at $80, 4 star
added zones three more times bid up to $105, still denied.
Moved over to Hotwire... they offered $107 Gas Lamp Convention Center, 4 Star. Reading a previous post with similar description on the Better Bidding Priceline board, they determined this offer was the Hilton Gaslamp Quarter.
I accepted that offer, and it was right, San Diego Hilton Gaslamp, at $107.
I used the betterbidding PRICELINE link. After looking at 4* Seattle (Downtown-Pike Place) 4* published rates, started at $80, 4* only. I was denied on six different re-bids, each time adding a zone and increasing bid. Then this bid was accepted. It's a new property to me, and it is not on the pinned Priceline hotel list. Looks nice.

Just one bid, one zone, using only 4* rating. First bid accepted. Maybe I overshot, after reading other posts, but for holiday weekend its good rate. I have been quite satisfied with Westin in past.
Started at $80, 4* San Antonio (Downtown - Riverwalk), denied. Stayed at 4*, only needed two re-bids, each time adding a layer, and increasing by $10.
Priceline accepted 3rd bid, 4* Westin, Zone:San Antonio (Downtown - Riverwalk), $100/night 2/3/10-2/6/10
