Priceline Hotel: Is there a reason for so few bids <4* in SF?

[belgo]

I'm considering spending a night in SF on the 14th of this month, but I really don't want to spend $80. I notice that most people only seem to be bidding on the 4* properties, especially in the area I'm interested in (Union Square East). Is there a problem property in the 3* or 2 1/2* categories, or is it that most people who come to SF just want a nicer place?

It's not always the case but usually the 4* PL prices give you more bang for your buck than the 2\3*.

If you're only staying ONE night and you're on a minimum budget then go for a really low ball 2* and tell us what you get :)
