thereuare Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Rates in Hawaii this summer have been very expensive.If you don't succeed with Priceline, do you have any back-up plan? What is the best rates you can find elsewhere if you don't succeed? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
straycat Posted August 5, 2005 Author Report Posted August 5, 2005 Well my "backup" hotel was the Park Shore in Waikiki for $170. I booked it and everything (refundable, of course). I was quite determined to rid myself of this after reading about it---definitely not worth it at that price. I've been bidding on Priceline for a few weeks now. I'm guessing the high prices for rooms must have something to do with decreased availability which I attribute to a weak dollar and many international tourists, but I could be wrong. Anyways, I rid myself of the Park Shore just a few hours ago and found a private travel agent in Hawaii (I just googled it) and got the Ohana Waikiki West for $80 a night! I'm quite relieved...
