Priceline Hotel: Honeymoon 9/26-9/30 Honolulu Bidding Help

[injdog]

I am planning my honeymoon. Last minute I know, but would like some bidding advice for honolulu 4* minimum from 9/26-9/30. Would like to keep it under $100 if possible. I do have $5/night bonus cash. I also have a $20 bonus cash on a stay of 3 or more nights, but will be saving that for my stay in Maui from 9/30-10/3 which I will post in a different thread.

First time in Hawaii, so I'm not sure what area is best. I am planning on renting a car so I don't think it will matter much.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

I'm not sure what your plans are during this leg of your trip, but i'd suggest sticking with the Waikiki Beach, City Central and Marina areas... this will at least keep you near the central area and Waikiki Beach (unless you have plans to spend most of your time in another part of the island)

If these zones are acceptable, at the 4* level you have THREE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. (NOTE: Ko Olina is not a re-bid zone)

Select 4* Waikiki Beach and City Center...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Thanks for the fast response. I recently checked out the 4* Oahu (Waikiki Marina) Hawaii Prince Hotel on tripadvisor. This is not the 4* Hotel I'd had in mind. Looks a little more dated than I'd like. This will not work especially for a honeymoon. Is there any way I can avoid getting this hotel? I would be willing to stretch my budget by as much as $35-$50 to ensure I get a nicer hotel.

As always, I'll use the links on the board to make my purchase.

Don't include the Marina zone in your bidding... but i do think this was one of your better chances of receiving something under $100/nite.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.

I ended up using hotel tonight for 9/30 and got sheraton waikiki for 9/1 for $114
