I ended up booking the 4.5 star on HOTWIRE for $189 a night.

I don't really mind the 4* but it seems like they're pretty close in price $20 difference so I guess I'm just hoping to score a hotel slightly below the HOTWIRE price.

Hi again! I have been combing through the thread to look for a bidding strategy and I was wondering if you could provide me with some direction. I noticed on hotwire that there is a $192 for 4.5* (I'm guessing the hyatt) and $175 for a 4* (probably sheraton). I'm really hoping to use priceline to get a lower price. I was thinking something around $160-170s for the hyatt or $150 for the 4*. It's a little harder to bid for the 4* since I don't really have a rebid zone. I've gone up to $175 for the 4.5 star and no dice, at this point I'm wonder if it makes more sense to just book through HOTWIRE. Please let me know what you think! As usual I'll be using your links to browse and book!

sorry i didn't know what you were asking, its for the hawaiian prince hotel you mentioned

i believe it was 199?

That hotel seems great! The thing is I wouldnt want to pay anywhere near 200 for it.. I'm hoping to pay around 120? For a 4* in your experience is that doable? Essentially i'm just interested in finding a nice hotel for 100-120..

I was looking at the Sheraton Waikiki Beach for sure! However to clarify, I think it was $120 bid + whatever fees. I guess I'm thinking open to paying a little more... for a 4*/resort but what should I be bidding at to even have a shot. And considering its in january will I have better luck later? When i won my hyatt one @ $115 it was a week before the trip.

i checked they're pretty pricey but I have looked around on some of the threads and people mentioned that $120 is pretty doable for the sheraton waikiki, just wondering what the best bidding method is.

I need help bidding on a price line hotel from 1/4/13-1/8/13. I'm hoping something around $120>. I know that it seems low but I was able to get the hyatt in maui at $115 exact same time last year, so I'm hoping for the same luck! Anyway, I want to know if this is realistic. Ideally we'd like to stay at the sheraton waikiki or the westin maybe?? but really not TOO picky.. just want to stay on the waikiki beach and get a great deal! btw, does anyone know why I can't bid for a north shore hotel?

thanks

I already tried bidding on the resorts at 90, 100, 110, 120 in all the sub areas that didn't have resorts... any tips are greatly appreciated
