I am just wondering if anyone is using hotwire.com (HW) to book their rooms. I use it about 30% of the time. The problem with using HW is they don't give you the name of the hotel. You know the price and the general location. To solve this problem, I go to betterbidding.com (BB). This site helps me to identify the hotel before I book using HW. I have been able to correctly identify the hotel about 90% of the time before I book.
For a trip next week to Anaheim, CA, I've booked the Hilton next to Disney. The regular Internet rate is $169. I paid $79 using HW. I stayed at the Hyatt in the same area for $55 a few months ago. If you decide to try it, make sure that your trip is confirmed, because there is no refund. I usually book the Hampton Inn as my backup, and use HW to find a 3.5 to 4 star hotel under $80 the day before.
