Was looking for 3+ stars in Glendale or Brown Deer areas. This was the best price point for these days of travel...other HOTWIRE hotels were around 100-110, Expe.dia bookings were not much more, and I had no time to play the Price.line bidding game. Came to 90/night all in after taxes. (Expedia was $110 for the same property, not sure if that included taxes.)

No 2.5* hotel was offered in my search results, and no 2* hotel was listed in your Hawaii Hotwire list. So that made me a little confused. But I took a chance that this was the Castle Hilo Hawaiian and had been downgraded, or that after booking I'd be given the 2.5 anyway. But it was Hilo Seaside, a 2* but not on the HW hotel list. A little disappointed b/c the same hotel is on Priceline list where I'd expect a cheaper result, and I had the time to bid.
Oh well, so it goes. Mostly looking for close and clean, and this will fit the bill.
Used HOTWIRE link.
Best retail rate I found before bidding was $288 (after taxes and fees, Thrifty or Dollar) Got same results on Orbitz, Expedia, Hotwire, and Entertainment Coupon book with discounts.
Started Priceline bidding at $14 ($210 after taxes and fees). Denied. Raised by $1 per day, until 5th day I was at $18/ day ($249 w/ t&f).
Then was offered transparent PRICELINE link for a Thrifty fullsize rental at $214 after taxes and fees. That price was about halfway between the total costs on my earlier $14/d and 15/d offers. Took it. Strange they didn't accept my higher offer on the table, but happy with the result.
Used the PRICELINE link.
