I decided to try again for a 2.5* .. Bid $55, $60, and $65 with no success. I still would prefer the 3*, but I'm flexible. The betterbidding New York hotel list shows that Ramada Plaza JFK is in this 2.5* category but there are several indications this awful hotel may be closed: yelp says it's closed, Expedia shows the hotel but won't book any rooms there, no winning bids reported on this forum since 2006, and the JFK airport website doesn't list it at all. But the Ramada website still makes it seem open, so it's a little odd. Before re-bidding tomorrow I will try to confirm one way or the other.

If you look at the listing for the Ramada in the hotel list it reads:

Ramada Plaza Hotel (ZONE: Jamaica)

This hotel is the one at 164-40 Hillside Avenue and as far as i know is still operational, but it is in PRICELINE's Jamaica zone now. The JFK zone has been split into JFK and Jamaica and we have not yet reviewed all the hotels to re-classify them.

Unfortunately most of the hotels in this area have poor reviews and high prices... do you have a very early morning flight or absolutely need to stay in this area? Could you potentially stay in Manhattan (or Brooklyn or Queens) and then make your way to the airport for your travel plans via taxi, train, etc?

I bid again for 2.5* up to $100 without winning, then closed the browser and bid for a 3* at $110, $120, and finally winning at $135. Noteworthy was that Priceline offered me a free re-bid opportunity (with no need to add more zones or change anything) after that first $110 bid. The screen said it was a one-time opportunity to re-bid if I was willing to bid $154. I passed on that offer and I'm glad I did.

We do need to be at the airport at 5 AM, so the proximity to the airport is a definite plus. I wish I had explored the surrounding areas a bit more, but I let the week get away from me and anyway I was so tired of planning this part of the trip... I just took the easy way. And I'm paying for the convenience; this is an expensive room, you're right!
