Priceline Hotel: 4* Honolulu (Wakiki North) Hawaii Prince Hotel

[brettnetdc]

I was trying to get the Hawaii Prince in Waikiki North last night for December 1st and 2nd. I know, I know, I'm a little anxious for the trip.

Anyway, I bid $110, $115 and $120 and came up empty. I looked in the vacation packages and was able to see that the hotel is available. I'm wondering if the prices are creeping up (as some of you had predicted/observed). I think I'm going to wait it out for a bit - no hurry really.

Any other advice?

Thanks

Besides being available, did you try to figure out "at what price"?

After several unsuccessful times bidding at a lower level I finally accepted the fact that I would have to bid more than $110.

First bid $115

Second bid $120

Third bid $125 - accepted.

Yes, but I think the 4-star Marriott in the south zone has raised its prices, too, and is more expensive. So it's "a deal", I suppose. :)

Congratulations on your win.

Glad to hear you were able to lock it in for not too much more. Even if rates were to eventually go back down, i think there is some comfort in knowing that your plans are set and not having to think about bidding again and again.

Still excellent savings over conventional rates which you can choose to spend elsewhere on your trip.

Enjoy your stay.
