Priceline has been good for me 95% of the time. Some of my biggest savings include:

Toronto, King Edward Hotel, for $40usd a night (hotel rate was $169 a night)

Rome, Mecenate Palace, for $200usd a night (hotel rate was $250 a night)

Zurich,Marriott,for $90 usd a night (hotel rate was $200 a night)

worst savings was NYC’s Park Central Hotel, got it for $115 a night, the rate was $125 a night. So $10 savings.
