Priceline can be a good way for travellers to save on hotel accommodations in Seattle. With Priceline’s Name Your Own Price, hotels in Seattle with excess inventory sell off their rooms to Priceline, meaning cheap discounts for customers like you. The only catch — you don’t know the name of the room until after you’ve bid and your hotel room bid has been accepted. While you can save money on Priceline, it’s worth learning a bit more about which hotels are in each bidding zone, which zones are good, and which ones to avoid.
Like most major cities, Priceline breaks Seattle up into several different zones. Most travellers stay in either the downtown area of Seattle, or near the airport. Here’s a quick of the major Priceline bidding zones.
Travelers to Hawaii should check out Priceline if they’re going to be staying at a hotel. I’m currently spending some time in Waikiki and here in part to make it easier to help travelers navigate their way through bidding on hotels in Hawaii.
In Oahu, there’s really only 3 main areas around Oahu: North Shore, Ko Olina, Honolulu and Waikiki.
North Shore: If you see a hotel in this area, it’s almost certainly the Turtle Bay Resort. It doesn’t come up often on Priceline so if you see this hotel during your travels, nab it quickly.
Ko Olina: This is another area on Oahu that doesn’t have a lot of hotels, so it’s easy to identify your hotel before you bid. Just look for the “resort” hotel and it’s more than likely to be the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort. See the Priceline Oahu hotel list.
Thanks to a software developer friend, I added some changes to the Hotwire and Priceline hotel lists. As you probably know, HotelDealsRevealed is a great way to get help when bidding for travel, and in particular, hotels. For Priceline, the hotel lists are particularly helpful when trying to figure out what hotel you might get. […]
This is a video recently posted on Youtube to provide an overview of how to use Priceline hotel lists when bidding on Priceline hotels.
