I use Priceline.com a lot to bid on rooms and have been able to get very nice, name hotels for the price of backwater places.
Try bidding on a three star or four star hotel on Maui. You can select an area on Maui but if your bid is accepted your purchase is set.
My wife had to go to Kona the other day and I got her a room at the Royal Kona Resort for $70. Regular kamaaina rate is $125. I think. I've stayed at the Hawaiian Price in Waikiki for the same price. On Maui I've stayed at a nice resort (Makena?) for about that price too.

Assume the best and ask questions.
