What was your previously rejected bid for this stay... it doesn't seem as if $42 was likely your first bid for this two nite stay

Thanks.

You are right! Sorry. Ok, here we go...

Based on past years, I started with a bid of $33 for 3* (That's all I bid for Marietta area) as this has been the sweet spot for the Hyatt Suites (a very nice place, indeed)...rejected.

Then went to my winning bid from January for the area, also Sheraton Suites Galleria, at $39...rejected (bit of a surprise, usually don't get knocked out of the game at this range)

Then free rebidded at $40,41,...and bingo, 42.

This is the most I have paid for this area (and I am pretty saturated over the years for this region of Atlanta).

Is Hyatt out of the game? A couple of people have listed them at the $33, but I am not sure they have it and I didn't, all things being equal. And even at $37, they usually show up.
