Yup, I've stayed here in the past year on priceline and was completely satisfied for the price (about 10 bucks more in winter). I've also gotten the Hyatt Suites in downtown Palm Springs, which I'd also recommend, but availability seem much greater here.

Received this for a stay in January and was quite pleased. The hotel is in the Palm Beach Lakes zone, just north of the airport zone, but that's pretty much nonsense. It's only about a mile from the airport (with a free shuttle), but feels a world away. It's also only about a half mile from downtown. You can even walk to the new City Place dining/shopping zone (very nice) and it's a few minutes drive across the causeway to Palm Beach. A great value at this price if you can get it. Hotel even has some resort-like ammenities, like tennis courts. As a Sheraton Perferred Guest member, they even upgraded me to the Club Floor with free deluxe continental breakfast (fresh squeezed OJ). Priceline rarely does better than this!

Stayed there in January at that rate for a few nights. I understand half the rooms are "suites," but couldn't talk my way into one at the priceline rate! About what you'd expect from a moderately upscale airport hotel, but I'd highly recommend bidding first for the Sheraton in the nearby Lakes zone instead. See other post.

I received the same rate at this property a month ago, so it seems pretty widely available. Strangely, the night I was there, the hotel seemed pretty crowded. Very convenient property to the Orlando airport and the hotel has good amenities (like an indoor/outdoor pool). It is a BUSY hotel, but my room was quiet. BTW, when my $30 3-star bids for the airport zone aren't accepted, I've been successful in the $25 to $30 range on the 2 1/2 stars. I've gotten the Courtyard a couple of times and, obviously, if you just need a low price, decent room by the airport, that's more than acceptable

Stayed there last month as I needed a property along I-95. More than acceptable (I think Fairfields are good affordable motels, with free continental breakfast), but the priceline discount for I-95 hotels is little better than you can do with those "exit guide" motel coupon books widely available, including online. BTW, I think the I-95 corridor in NC may have some of the cheapest motel rates in the country. You'd be a big spender to pay 50 bucks.

Received this property for a short stay in March. Had seen it come up on the TOBB board and, as a Sheraton Perferred Guest member, I bid hoping I'd get it (and get a room upgrade!). Personally, I wouldn't want to spend my "dream vacation" here (a little too ordinary and crowded), but if you happen to need a reasonably-priced hotel room in Honolulu for a few nights, it seems hard to beat. Discounted rates directly from the hotel average more than twice this price.

In the Lihue-East Shore zone, available for March. I haven't stayed yet at this hotel, which seems to get mixed reviews (Frommers lists it as one of the best places to stay in Hawaii with kids; others describe it as a moldly dump). But I needed a couple nights in the area (it's 10 minutes to the airport), and the price is obviously right BTW, my $51 bid was rejected and the "locals" rate is $65, so I don't think you'll find a better discount on this property. I also noticed that the Entertainment Book has discount food and luau coupons for the property, which makes it an even more economical choice.

BTW, That's Wiamea Plantation Cottages -- they are in a nice garden, though!

From their description, I am 99% certain that Hotwire is offering the famous Wiamea Plantation Gardens for $96, with availability for every day I've looked. This Wiamea zone, btw, doesn't exist on Priceline. WPG is a great "old Hawaii" destination for those who aren't too fussy about modern conveniences, like air conditioning, and want to step back in time to the way Hawaii "was." $96 is a good discount, but I am a little afraid of what cottage they will stick you with. From personal experiences, the cottages vary A LOT, and they're not too keen on free upgrades. I personally have booked the place using an Entertainment Card 50% discount (call Aston, not the hotel directly!) so that I could choose the cottage class I wanted. I am, however, travelling with my family, so I wanted a larger cottage. For a couple, the better discount may be on Hotwire.
