I Started a new session, this time 3* (Airport MSP - Mall of America) area, rejected at $35, 37, 39 and hit at $41. Was surprised to see I got a hotel that has not been reported. Trip advisor shows mostly positive reviews, internet rate is $122 per night. Pleased with the result . This hotel was reported in a Hotwire win in July for $46 also at 3*.

Forgot to mention, used the PRICELINE link from Betterbidding. Thanks.
