Re: Hotwire or Priceline?
This is me, too. One of these days, I'm sure my cheap nature will get the better of me. Until then, however, I use - and have been happy with - Hotwire.
Check betterbidding.com. I think it tells you what hotels people are commonly getting with Priceline.
I also combat my fears of the unknown by never choosing less than 4 star. While I might not get the exact hotel I want, any 4 star is usually just fine.
Always hotwire. I check betterbidding.com too.
I've tried to use priceline but couldn't find as good of a deal and didn't find the site to be very user-friendly.

Ooh I love the Swiss.
We just stayed at the Hyatt Regency for $70 through Priceline.
Betterbidding.com helps alleviate a lot of my fears because they do list the hotels that you're bidding on.
I would never name my own price for a hotel that I needed for more than a few nights, or for anything where I wanted a very specific location or amenities, but I think it works well if you have some flexibility as far as location and if its just for a night or two.
This is us exactly. I usually have a good idea of what I'm booking using the Better Bidding lists. We almost always use Hotwire, and Priceline is our back-up. Using the Better Bidding lists, I can usually narrow the Hotwire hotels down to 1-2. Today, I booked a 4.5* in Chicago-- thinking it was probably the James. It was (woo hoo!).
Plus, I TripAdvisor the hotels on the Better Bidding list. There was a $95 4*, but it looked like it was a hotel w/ a 70% approval rating on TripAdvisor, and ranked 80ish/180. The $136 4.5* had WAY better ratings, and was therefore worth the extra $$$, IMO.
Sounds like a good deal!
