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

[EKSacce]

Bid $53 for 3* in Waikiki south hoping for Prince Kuhio, and got Park Shore South first try. A little bummed, but should be ok. Seems like a great location.

Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the rest of the board.

This has been an 'issue' for many users ever since this hotel was upgraded to 3 stars.

Please let us know your own thoughts on this property by posting in our HOTEL REVIEW section upon your return.

Enjoy your stay.

Unfortunately, this is the history of Priceline and Waikiki: you get a good reliable rate at a nice hotel, and then after a couple of weeks or months they get underbid or the better hotel decides to raise their rates. I think it's because there are SO many hotels there, especially in the 3 star range.

I'd at least like to try to figure out a way for folks to know whether they'll get the Park Shore. The last time I checked, it didn't even come up on priceline's packages page.

FWIW, the location of this hotel looks quite good.

i decided to do another night in honolulu since our flight doesn't leave til 11:00 p.m. just so we would have a place to keep our stuff and shower etc. got the same rate at Park Shore for Sunday night 5/22.

I'm new to posting here, but have been studing bid history on Honolulu for months (for my own upcoming trip), and I have two observations:

1. For the specific dates listed, 5/19 to 5/22, Park Shore is $95 cheaper ($32/day) when viewing packages on Priceline.

2. I've not seen a winning bid for Radisson Prince Kuhio for less than $58/night for a long, long time.

While nothing is a guarantee, every single bid in the last year that won Park Shore that have been posted on this board or that other one are either for less than $58, or when Park Shore is less expensive than Prince Kuhio on the packages page, or when Prince Kuhio doesn't appear at all on the packages list. Most of the time, especially when there's plenty of lead time and lots of available rooms, the Radisson is cheaper on the packages list than the Park Shore.
