I have got better deals from the hotels site than priceline at times. Never hurts to check.

Absolutely, you can get great deals from the property itself, priceline and other sites do the work for you.

I used to negotiate coupons, politely asking if they would honor a weekday price on the weekend, they usually would if occupancy rates were low.

If you're just using Priceline to book a room rather than bid on one I'd agree. But I've always got way better deals when actually bidding.
2 recent examples are the Embassy Suites DTW for $51 and $53. The best rack rate those nights was $109. I also got these by bidding on the same day we stayed.

Our last hotel stay was the same , 47 dollars a night, front desk said rack rate was 120.00, weekend, raddison, Rochester, ny.
Also, my bids are sameday as well.
