Thanks for the prompt. I realize I forgot a few important details like star rating and such. My initial search process included looking at Priceline's list of hotels for that area, then checking HOTWIRE to see they were featuring a 3-star room for $75, then bidding approximately 75% of that through the PRICELINE link here at this board. I can confirm that Priceline is listing this property as 3 stars, and list price was $189.

Friends of mine stay at this hotel frequently. There is a charge for parking Mon-Fri, however free on weekends. I would suspect they won't charge for parking on Thanksgiving, but just in case they do, you can park for free in the Target lot adjacent to the hotel. My friends do it all the time and never any problem.
