Started bidding a few days earlier at about $45 - kept being rejected, after increasing my bid by $5. The lowest for 3* for the same date on Hotwire was $79, so $70 was a decent deal, and about as high as I was willing to go. Looking forward to the trip. Thanks for a useful resource!

I have been bidding for about a week and half in Charlottesville with no success for 8/7. Difficult area to try to guage your bid with only 1 zone and big range of reported win prices (I guess typical for a college town). My last bids were $ 57 for a 3* and $ 49 for a 2-1/2*. There is a 3* on Hotwire for $65 (although just went up to $ 69 today) which I believe is the Holiday Inn University. I think I will try two more bids up to around $ 65 for a 3*; and if not successful, I will probably make the Hotwire purchase if still in the $ 65 to $ 70 range - even though the Holiday Inn has very mixed reviews on TripAdvisor.

I've seen $65 on HW, but a weekday unfortunately. It appears that Saturday prices are a bit higher. But I agree with you re: difficult area. Town is too small, one area, too few hotels. Oh well. Omni appears to be a good hotel though, although we'll see after I get to stay there.
