Priceline Hotel: 2* Honolulu (Waikiki North) Ohana Maile Sky Court

[blindman]

This is part of a three week trip to 6 States in October\November 06.

I wanted a budget option for our first brief stop in Hawaii so I can $pend more when in Maui and Vegas.

I'd twice tried for 3* options at around $60-$70 with no luck (probably too far out).Anything above this total was almost matching a condo I'd found.

I'd reviewed the possible 2* likely hotels and saw from another source :) that this had come up at $52 after a counter offer ($14) after a bid of $48.

The reviews from Tripadvisor were reasonable and adequate for our needs and the rate in October is $89 which is the same rate as the other successful bid.

I started with a bid of $46 and was countered with "add $13 more and it's yours"

From past experience the extra to add is usually 1/2 the priceline offer and with the previous win this seemed to concur.

I refused the counter offer, added Ihilani, bid $52 and won.

I also went through Savings barn :)
