Priceline Hotel: 3* Honolulu (Waikiki South) Park Shore

[flyme2]

Once again I needed a bed for a one night layover enroute to Asia. I had a bit more time, so I decided to try bidding Waikiki instead of the Airport zone. I began my bidding somewhat optimistically at $36 for a 2* in the Waikiki North zone. Rejected. I added Waikiki South and upped my bid to $39. Rejected. Added Ihilani and upped the bid to $42. Nada. Added the Airport zone and bid $45. No go. I began the bidding process over again, having my wife bid, and decided to try for a 3* in Waikiki South at $52. Bingo!

Congratulations, you got your price of $52 for a 3-star hotel room...

At least I get to stay at a 3* property near the beach instead of paying more for a 2* near the airport. I'll use the savings to buy some boxes of macadamia chocolates for the folks back home.

You can scope out the place and get a preview for your upcoming May stay!

Upon check-out during this stay you may want to make small talk with the front desk staff and tell them that you're returning in a few weeks for a longer stay and how much you enjoyed your current visit (or what would make you look forward to it more, ie- "i really had a nice stay at the hotel last nite. You know, i'll be returning here in a few weeks for a bit of a longer period, is there any way you could reserve me <such and such type> room? It would really make the next few weeks go by a lot quicker and help me look forward to my return visit")

Enjoy your stay and have a good trip.
