Websites for hotel deals - hotwire, etc?

Anyone used one of those websites that doesn't tell you the name of the hotel you're booking under afterward?  I haven't used them before, I usually book straight through the hotel, but I'm having a hard time finding a reasonable rate for an overnight trip in Sept.

What are your favorite sites for cheap hotel fares?

Re: Websites for hotel deals - hotwire, etc?

  • I've used Hotwire and Priceline before and have had success with both.  However, I kindof like Hotwire better because the price is posted, you just can't tell which hotel it is.  With Priceline you do the bidding and that's just more work and I usually end up with a similar price to Hotwire anyway.

    Also, if you're not visiting a super-populated area, alot of times you can figure out which hotel it is, or within a couple, based on the description.

  • I've used hotwire several times and always been really happy. You don't get the name of the place until after you book, but you get a star rating and description and you can choose your area of town which is nice. I've never had a bad experience and usually save about 50% of what I would pay to book directly with the hotel. GL!

    Oh yeah, you're right!  I *think* I've figured out 2 hotels it might be.  If I'm right, I'd be okay with either of them, and it's a lot cheaper than what I was seeing on Travelocity.
