Got this same day, and bid "high" since there are no rebids. I got it for $47, but maybe could have for a few $$ less....no regrets!! He hotel lists for $239 on the Hyatt site ($224 on AAA, and $199 on gov. rate). It was also on Hotwire for $85+

Was rejected at $35, added new zone and got accepted at $38. Various booking engines list this hotel at $79 for this night. I like the free wireless, parking and shuttle services....

Tried at $42, no luck, so I went for the more reliable $45 many people have reported. Total w. taxes and fees $57.11.

It was a long struggle. After starting at $44, raised to $47, then $50. At $50 I got a counteroffer to add $14. I ignored it an went ahead with $53 (got counteroffer to add $15!), $55 (same +$15 counteroffer) and finally $58 was accepted. The hotel lists for $149 on the Hilton website. Hotwire lists it (I'm pretty sure but one can never tell - all we know is that it is a 4* with matching amenities...) for $71.

Working my way up, I started from $32, in steps of $3. At $38 I got a counter offer for $11, which I ignored. Eventually got the Shilo Inn for $44. This is for some reason a very busy period as many 4* and 3* hotels has no availability. The Shilo showed no availability on Orbitz!!

Maybe a coincidende, but...
