If you know how to use it, definitely worth the "trouble" (5 minutes process max for each bid submission) to pay 1/3 to 1/2 cost versus regular booking.
Compare to Hotwire - it depends. There are occasions Priceline not too much cheaper than Hotwire. More oftenly, Priceline is 20-30% cheaper than Hotwire. Her comment about using 2/3 of Hotwire prices to start bid is right on target.
I just won a bid last week for Portland downtown - Hilton downtown - Priceline bid $45, after tax (based on $45) and fee just under $58 total. Hotel website $129 prepaid, (equivalent to Priceline prepaid) $149 cancellable. Hotwire $90 for an unknown 3 star.
This site has decipher some Hotwire hotels based on amenities and reports from posters.
