More Hotel Deal Strategies
I’ve mentioned Priceline before and the strategies that one should use to get the best price on that service.
Another site to keep in mind if in desperation for a good deal and priceline doesn’t appear to be working: Hotwire.
There is no auction behind Hotwire. It justs gives you a price and star rating for a hotel, and you decide if you want to buy. After you buy, the name of the hotel is revealed to you.
Usually, if you see a price on Hotwire, you can get the same quality of hotel on Priceline for about 20-30% less. (Or, in the case of cars, this also applies!) However, Hotwire occasionally has some hotels that do not come up often on Priceline. For example, Hilton Hotels seem to come up frequently on Hotwire, while Hyatts appear more on Priceline. (if you are searching for three stars and higher) If you are targeting to get a “certain” hotel chain, it is good to know which service might produce the best result.
