Priceline.com's Hotel Negotiator Application Earns No. 3 Spot in App Store

After one week of availability, priceline.com announced that its Hotel Negotiator App has climbed to the No. 3 free travel app on the App Store.

The new priceline.com app, which features The Priceline Negotiator (William Shatner), lets travelers use iPhone or iPod touch to quickly find and book last-minute hotel rooms using priceline.com's Name Your Own Price hotel service and save up to 50 percent over published hotel rates.

The Hotel Negotiator App is available for free from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at itunes.com/appstore.

Hotel listings can be sorted by star level, price, proximity and popularity. Hotel listings include address, star level, customer reviews and satisfaction scores, zoomable maps, pictures and descriptions. All of the hotels on the list can be booked either online or by automatically calling priceline.com's hotel booking specialists. Travelers who need help with other trip arrangements can select another option on the Hotel Negotiator app that takes them to a priceline.com website configured for iPhone and iPod touch. There, they can check flight status and browse and book airline tickets and rental cars on a published-price or Name Your Own Price basis.
