Call any hotel chains 800 reservation line, not the hotel directly, ask them for the "travel industry rate" they will almost always give it to you, and no one at the hotel will even know what type of discount you got when you check in.
Try using biddingfortravel.com or betterbidding.com to give you an idea of what you can get on priceline.com
It also tells you the hotels that priceline uses for the * quality you want 2*,3*,4*, etc...
I scored a Hampton Inn for $37/night when the typical rate was $90-$110
In the current economic climate, you should get some killer deals.
Travel industry rates seem to be about 10% in my experience.
In Hawaii, the hotels are bleeding red ink. If you know anyone with a Hawaii address, ask for the Kamaina rate, pronounced kahmah eyenah rate. They are dirt cheap especially for the usually overpriced nice resorts. Rates at the Hilton Hawaii Village are under $100 for Kamaina rates. Come to think of it, they probably won't even check addresses they are so desperate for cash. Good luck and Aloha!
