Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Atlanta (Perimeter) Hyatt Place

[Travlin1]

I know Atlanta hotel rooms are always cheaper on the weekends. Because I wasn't successful bidding for a 4-night stay at a 4* in the Perimeter section of Atlanta, I split my bid, and got a two-night weekend stay (8/4 and 8/5) for $60/night. PL offered to let my extend my stay, but then declined my request for an additional two nights (Mon., 8/6, and Tues., 8/7). I called PL and was told they don't have inventory for those two nights. I've gone up to $75/night for the Mon. and Tues. of my stay (understanding that if I get a different hotel, I'll have to move), but no luck. Any insight into anything big (conference?) taking place in that area of Atlanta on those days that may be interfering with PL's inventory? Thanks.

I bid $35 for weekdays 8/6 - 8/8 (2 nights). Bid declined. PL offered to allow me to rebid for $44. I declined, and started a new bid, using free rebid zones. Won 2.5* Hyatt Place Atlanta Perimeter (formerly AmeriSuites; bought by Hyatt, and renovated 2 years ago) for $40 per night. Taxes and service fees were $19.35 total for the two nights.

Hotel website for dates in question show AAA rate of $189 on weekdays, but $99 on weekends.
