Priceline
- I recently tried Priceline when my mom came to town. I ended up with a suite for her that was 50% off. We named the price and the site went through a list of hotels to see if there were any takers. The downside is that, if you need a specific type of room (such as suite), there doesn't seem to be an option for that when you're trying to name your own price. When we travel with my son, we always stay in a suite or he'll refuse to go to bed. It was just luck that my mom ended up with a suite. If you don't mind having a standard room at a hotel, then it really does make sense to name the price you can afford for your family's vacation. If no hotels accept your offer, you're not out any money.
