Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I understand that the rate changes, especially that win is more than a month ago, and also Dec is a high season for oahu. I had a backup plan, the prince hotel booked using the 3rd nt free promotion. Hope to get the hawaii prince for around 100, or marriott for around 110. Can accept the prince for $105-116 if there is no other choice. I understand that it is hard to predict if rates go up or down... But given your experience, is there a reasonable chance for it to go down?

I will stay at Oahu from 12/14-12/20. Booked the sheraton waikiki from PRICELINE for 12/17-20, as shown in my other priceline hotel post. Now need to book one for 12/14-12/17. We would like to stay at another hotel if possible. I am interested in the hawaii prince hotel, (4 star at waikiki marina), and saw a successful priceline bid for $85 from this board. Started from 80, increase by 5 each time, until 105, and was not accepted. counter offer for $120. The price from HOTWIRE for this hotel is $116. Also ok with marriott waikiki for about 110 if possible. I am wondering what is a good strategy to follow. Will the price go down later? Any advice is appreciated.

used the PRICELINE link from the website, started from 95, add 5 each time, accepted at 110, it does come with extra $20 resort fee. I was expecting marriott which doesn't have such fee,
