Have you used one of those travel sites that has great deals on hotels...?
You know the ones who only tell you the name of the place once you have actually booked the hotel? What site did you use, and was your experience bad or good? Thanks!
I've had good luck with both Priceline and Hotwire but there are things to be cautious of. Do you have a car? If you are flying into a city and counting on public transit then you are taking a risk. When I used Hotwire to book a hotel room in Milwaukee I lucked out - it had a free airport shuttle AND was directly on a city bus line but if it hadn't had those, taxi costs would have negated my savings. Using Hotwire I got great deals in Milwaukee and Duluth, a good deal in Welland and barely any savings in Winnipeg. The Winnipeg hotel I had was really, really nice and in a central location however the price I paid through Hotwire was only about $10 less than that listed on the hotel's own website plus it had a parking fee of $9 per night. Had I booked something on my own I would have made sure it didn't have any additional fees for internet or parking but I would have ended up in a more basic hotel. It's always a risk.
I have now booked my first hotel through Priceline using the "name your own price" feature. I placed a bid I thought was too low but was surprised when it was accepted! It turns out I have a room at a Comfort Inn in a good location for 40% less than the very best "pay-in-advance" rate on the website. I haven't actually stayed there yet but hopefully it goes off without a hitch.
I think it's worth the chance if you have your own car or a rental for transportation and so far don't have any negative stories.
Good luck.
