Priceline Hotel: Looking for a hotel for for 1 Night... Need Help!

[integlspwr]

I've used PRICELINE once before but need some help again.

What i want is a Resort or 4* in Waikiki.

I stayed at the Hawaii Prince Before but want to try another hotel. i don't mind that place, I would prefer to stay either in any resort in Waikiki or the 4* Westin Moana Surfrider.

The most I would be willing to pay is about 110 including Fees/taxes for a Resort and about 85-95 including Fees/taxes for a 4*.

How would I go abouts doing that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

With PRICELINE you can't target or avoid a specific property... you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you select.

HOTWIRE may be an option for you for this stay as you can take a guess as to the hotel you may receive before your purchase based upon the amenities associated with the hotel. If you search HOTWIRE for your nite above does anything appear within your desired zone(s), star rating and budget?

I think you're out of luck. You're price limits are probably about $10-15 a night too low, plus, as Thereuare mentioned, you can't target a specific place like the Moana Surfrider - and in point of fact, you're more likely to get either the Sheraton Waikiki or the Hyatt or the Marriott.

With HOTWIRE, you could more effectively target a specific place (but again, the Sheraton and the Hyatt have the same amenities, I believe), and your price points are probably $25/nt or so too low with HOTWIRE.

just wanted to give everyone an update.

I tried to do 3.5* hotel up to $65 using all the zones but still no deal.

The day before, i tried up to $76 for a 4* and still no deal either.

I'll try again tomorrow and see what i come up with.

[integlspwr]

whats the point of using the links that you provide going to priceline vs going to priceline directly in a browser.

[integlspwr]

You didn't seriously expect to get a 4* or Resort in Waikiki for under $100 while excluding the Marina zone on Labor Day weekend, did you?

[integlspwr]

tried to do 3.5* up to $87 with rebidding 5 times upping each time $1 and still no deal. ='(

With 2 days to go before your stay, do you have a back-up plan or is this an optional stay? (ie- you'd just cancel the stay if you don't find something within your limit) What is your current limit for a 3* hotel in this zone? What is the best deal you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?
