Priceline Hotel: 3* Kauai (Kapaa-Lihue-Koloa) Aston Kauai Beach at Makaiwa

[pitflyer]

$70 rejected, $72 accepted at Aston Kauai Beach for Sunday night. Rate at their website and at other major sites was $97 for the night + $12 taxes + $12 fee. Priceline charged me $17 taxes and fees, but I believe I will be paying the $12 fee at the resort. Hence, with this hotel, Priceline charged $5 as their fee, on top of whatever they included in the base rate of $72, which may be as little as $2 if the earlier rejection indicates their floor.

So I saved $20 over the standard available rate at this hotel, or about 18%. Not quite what TheNegotiator tries to sell, but something, I guess. I was at a conference where William Shatner was the keynote speaker. Next time I'll tell him to cut the rates more :) I normally find that rates at regular hotels that offer points are just as competitive with Priceline, but this location has only a few nation-branded hotels (Marriott and Starwood) and their rates are about double.

Congratulations on your success.

Sorry to hear that the discount wasn't quite what you had hoped, but this still looks like quite a nice property. :)

Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link.

Enjoy your stay.
