Priceline is not for everyone. You end saving alot of money by booking through priceline, but you’re giving up the freedom to pick the exact hotel that you want.

It all depends on your personal situation.  If you are younger and travelling on a tight budget, you really cant lose by using priceline.  If you want to go to a certain hotel, or stay in an exact location – then you’d probably be better off booking directly with the hotel you want to stay at.

Priceline can save you alot of money – especially for longer stays.  Typically, you can get hotels for %50 – %60 of the regular price (the price you’d see on any travel websites).  Sometimes the deals can get even crazier.. I’ve seen resorts that charge $375 a night get booked on priceline for $90 a night.

The location also matters.  Some places like Vegas, or New York are great for priceline.  For Vegas, as long as you’re on the strip you’re fine. Why not select North or South strip and save a bunch of money on your hotel? (you’ll need it in Vegas!) In New York, some of the areas are only a few  blocks wide,  so no matter what hotel you end up getting within a given area, you’re within walking distance of whatever it is that you want to see.
