Priceline Hotel: 2-3* Sydney $40-82 rejections for 5/18-20

[MikeMpls]

Over the last week (Feb. 10-17) I've accumulated a pile of Priceline rejects trying to find the cheapest PL hotel in Sydney. Priceline shows a 2* category in Sydney, but there appears to be no bidding history on-line indicate that a 2* hotel has ever accepted a bid.

• I started bidding at $40, increasing in $3 increments to $82.
  
• Stay dates were various permutations of 5/18/2008 -5/21/2008 & in between.
  
• Typically I would bid on 3*, then increase by $3 & bid on 2*, then maybe change the dates or quit for the evening.
  

Tomorrow night I will make a realistic bid for the Hyde Park Marriott (4*, have stayed there before, usually PL's for $120), and if that flops I will book the Travelodge through Expedia @ 100/night all-in.

Then I'll be looking for the bottom of the Melbourne market for 5/26-30. :)
