Waikiki Marina Priceline Bidding Zone: I generally recommend people avoid this zone if they can. It’s simply too risky because there are many hotels here that are too far away from the beach.
Ala Moana Hotel: This hotel is situated in a weird location. It’s neither close to Waikiki Beach nor Ala Moana Beach. The hotel rooms are nice enough but if you’re wanting to be close to the beach, avoid this help by not bidding on a 3 1/2 star hotel on Priceline in the Marina zone.

Using Priceline for Paris Hotels
Paris, like most European cities, can be expensive, particularly when it comes to hotel accommodations. Paris is, after all, the most visited city in the world with over 40 million visitors annually. This drives up accommodation prices. Fortunately for travellers who are prepared to do a bit of research, there are many options to get a great accommodation in a spectacular location at a great price. Priceline probably offers the lowest prices for hotels in Paris.
Priceline “Real Winning Hotel Bids”
Priceline recently launched “Real Winning Hotel Bids”, a feature that allows you to specify a city and see successful bids. The information that Priceline provides includes city and bidding zone (e.g., Las Vegas, Strip Vicinity South), price, and star level (also known as the hotel rating; e.g., 3 1/2 stars).
Affordable Accommodations in Paris Using Priceline
Priceline is a great alternative for travelers booking a hotel in Paris where the exact hotel does not matter. That’s because with Priceline’s Name Your Own Price, you bid on a hotel by specifying your hotel criteria: travel dates, vicinity, and hotel star rating. However, you do not know the exact location of your hotel until after you place a bid. If your bid is accepted, you then find out which hotel you received. Note that reservations on Priceline are non-refundable and cannot be changed or cancelled.
How Far in Advance to Bid on Priceline
Find out if it is better to book early or last minute when bidding on a hotel room on Priceline. As a general, 4-6 weeks out is best when bidding on hotels, but in some cases it may be necessary to book earlier.
