I used Priceline very successfully in May. Just make sure you get your area right. I managed to get my hotel at a very cheap rate on the third attempt. I also used priceline when I was over there because I only had the first hotel for 4 nights - so I just popped into an internet café on I-Drive and managed to get the Wyndham for the others 3 nights (again, very cheap).

I've read before that you don't get the really cheap rates for stays over 4 days - but you'll probably find that for 1 or 2 nights it's perfect. I had email confirmation from the hotel and no problems at all when booking in, and I had nice rooms, so they obviously don't set aside the dodgy rooms just for cheap deals through Priceline.

I would use them again, although you can't guarantee which hotel accepts your offer, but you can enter a star rating category.
