Priceline Hotel: 3* Honolulu (Waikiki North) Ohana Waikiki Village

[honu]

This was a painful bidding experience. I started lowballing $52 Waikiki N. (needed a room for an overnight between flights). Was hoping for DT Alana or Ilikai Ren (not for the Waikiki Village!).

Rejected.

I took a free rebid w/Ihilani (there's only a pricy Marriott resort there) and added $2. Rejected.

Another $2 and added the airport (free rebid). Rejected.

Added $2 more and Waikiki South. Accepted. But I had forgotten that the Ohana Waikiki Village is considered a 3* in N. Waikiki. Anyway, let's hope for the best, but I'm not looking forward to be in a place which is in the middle of everything (Lewers St., right next to the Int'l Marketplace) for a midnight arrival and a quick snooze before my late am flight. The same place was on sale at Travelocity for $71 something, so I definitely didn't get a bargain... :)

BTW, Lewers St. is kind of Waikiki middle, not really North.

So is the actual Priceline zone: Honolulu (Waikiki North)?

Thanks.

Yup, the Waikiki Village is listed on Priceline and TOBB as a Waikiki N. hotel, but to be fair, it's right in the middle, and, personally, I'd consider Lewers St. a bit closer to the South end of Waikiki (actually, for locals it's Ewa and Diamond Head, rather than North and South).
