Tough choice between this and a $197 property in the rockefeller Center zone. We decided to go the less expensive route for our couples weekend.
The hotel website makes it tough to compare prices directly (you only get offered King Suites when you enter 4 adults,) but Junior Suites go for $219. I'm guessing that we will end up in one of those.
Overall i'm very pleased with this deal. Was expecting to pay much more for a 4*.
Amenities listed: Indoor pool, pool, business center, fitness center, restaurant, internet access.

Not many hotels in the area. Tried bidding up to $100 for a 2.5*, but got nowhere. Started a new bid for a 2* and landed this on my first try.
Rate through hotel site $119 for a savings of 24%

LOVE Economy Candy! It's one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in the city.
Started my bidding yesterday for 3.5* and was rejected from $80-115 using rebids.
Tried again today at 3* starting at $79. Landed this one on my 18th and final rebid attempt.
Hotel website price is $139 for a savings of 18%.

Originally tried booking a 3.5* yesterday, but was rejected at bids up to $80
I moved down to 3* today. After being rejected at $75, $80 and $85, PL accepted my offer of $90 on the final free re-bid.
Rate for same night via hotel website id $189 for a savings of 52%. Solid win.

My wife is attending a concert at DAR Constitution Hall with a friend that night. I decided to tag along and take our daughter to DC for the day. This looks like it will be a perfect spot - walking distance to the concert for my wife and a roomy suite so we won't feel so cramped with the kiddo.
I used the HOTWIRE link.
Tried bidding on a 4 star over the weekend without success. Tried again today at 3.5 stars. Started bidding at $65 and used free re-bid zones before being accepted at $85.
Direct booking rate is $110, so it's a savings of 23%.
Couple of notes:
1) PL has consolidated the Inner Harbor area hotel zones (see my previous post)
2) The hotel is no longer the Sheraton City Center as of 5/2014 (not to be confused with the Sheraton Inner Harbor, which still exists). It is now known as the "Baltimore Harbor Hotel." That option was not available when I was typing, so I entered it as the Sheraton.
I used the PRICELINE link provided. Thank you!
I noticed when bidding on a Baltimore hotel today that the Name Your Own Price zones downtown have consolidated into one. Instead of separate zones, Inner Harbor-Downtown-Fells Point is now one zone. This is a bit concerning since I was hoping to land a hotel within walking distance of a concert I am attending on 8/1. I guess I'll have to take my chances.
This win took a lot longer than my previously posted priceline win ($40 for the 4* Tropicana in May).
I started bidding on 4* hotels several days ago. Used all my free re-bids before getting rejected at $84.
Moved down to 3.5 stars. Again I made use of free re-bids until I got rejected at $84
Tried 3 stars. Got rejected at $60 and then again at $65. I rejected a PL counteroffer at $87 because I knew I could get a 3* for $79 using Express Deals if necessary.
The third time placing a 3* bid was a charm - landed the Excalibur at $75.
Hotel website rate is $107 (one night at $99 and one at $115) for a savings of 30%.
Not too shabby.

3* Strip Vacinity South $84

Guest Favorite
$10 per night Resort Fee
2.5* Strip Vacinity South $72

I've made several attempts to bid on Name Your Own Price. I've been rejected at up to $84 at both the 3.5 and 4* levels. I'm not comfortable paying more than that (especially with resort fees on top) so I dropped down to 3* and bid $70. PL came back with a counteroffer of $87, which I rejected because they have Express Deals for less.
I'm guessing that the 3* is Excalibur, but I have no idea what the 2.5* might be. My plan is try one more Name Your Own Price bid of $75. If that fails, i'll take one of these two Express Deals with the extra 5% off discount.
I'm going to be in Vegas twice this spring - once in April and once in May. I've been trying to book my April dates on PL without success, but when I saw that someone else scored a huge win for my May dates, I placed a $40 bid and was accepted on the first try. VERY excited about this one. Advance Purchase rate is $135, so this is a savings of 70%!
Hopefully the hotel will accommodate my request for two beds.

You're probably better off using HOTWIRE where you can take a reasonable guess as to what property you're getting. Otherwise you're tempting fate.
Sorry for taking so long to reply - I just noticed that I had a message. The hotel was definitely in LIC and not Elmhurst. When I posted the win, "Long Island City - Elmhurst" came up as a single zone in the dropdown box under the "Post a Win" form.

Needed a cheap place with easy access to the city for my family. Pretty pleased with this price so close to Christmas.
Started bidding on 3.5* properties yesterday. Opening bid was $65. Added zones until I got to $80.
Dropped down to 3* today. Opening bid of $80 was accepted. Kicking myself just a little because I probably could have had bid lower, but price on hotel website is $219 so I will chalk it up as a win.

Gotcha - even so, my point that the Better Bidding map is not meant to be a comprehensive list still stands. It is simply a list of all the winning bids that have been reported to this site. Looks like you'll be the first person to report a 4* in Southpark. The map is meant for you to be able to check on winning bid histories, not to see what hotels might be availabe for your particular dates. Priceline inventory changes daily.
That's because you're doing it wrong. The maps on this site are not meant to be a comprehensive listing of Priceline's inventory. It's a history of what has been reported by users of this site. Those are two different things.
The ONLY way to find out for sure what star levels are available in each zone is by clicking on the individual zones on Priceline.
You shouldn't give up on this site or on Priceline. You just have to do gain a better understanding of how they work.
Sorry that your hotel bid went wrong. That stinks.
EDIT: And now that I have looked at the Better Bidding map myself, the very first hotel that shows up on the Charlotte list is a 4* in the Airport Zone. So I really have no idea what you were looking at.
It was a 2-day process to get this deal booked. I started yesterday at $80 for a 3* in South Beach and continued to add zones until I topped my bid out at $100 and quit to fight another day.
Today I received a PRICELINE $7 bonus cash reward. Started at $85 for a 2.5* in South Beach and added zones until I won the Airport HIE for $103 ($110 with the bonus cash). Used the PRICELINE link on this site.
I'm pretty familiar with the Miami area and have family scattered throughout the region, so I'll live with being out by the airport in exchange for affordability.

Hotel website price $126, so its a modest savings of 11%, but I also had a Hotwire coupon for $20, so I was able to shave a little off the price.
