I usually end up bidding on priceline for under $60 for 3.5 stars without much problem so far. But I really don't like to prepay in case of a plan change. Is there any trick for better weekday rates?

try to take advantage of the LNF rate guarantee. hotelscombined, kayak, orbitz, reservetravel, etc. It doesn't always work but there are rates to be found from time to time using this. Good luck
