A weekend visitor to the Twin Cities was pleasantly surprised to pick up a room for only $60 in town through Priceline:

Priceline works! I’ve never used them before, I suppose because it’s rare I’m traveling not for work and not staying with relatives. I worried there’d be no free rooms Saturday night with a Twins-Yankees playoff game the next day; but in fact Priceline found us a $60 room at the Holiday Inn Metrodome.

Have you heard of other hotels offering comparable rates?

A few years ago, I heard that the Ramada near the MOA was being served up as a 3 Star property on Priceline, which seems a bit generous on the rating.
