I probably made every blunder known to PRICELINE, and I ended up with a poorly-reviewed 2* hotel at a high price. This is Memorial Day weekend, which is probably why my lower bids at 3* hotels were being rejected. I was rejected with all bids between $40-65. I knew I shouldn't do it, but I went down to 2* and bid $66, and got a hotel. ETA: Taxes were $21.68, making the total charge $83.68 for one night. Will post a review after my stay.
