Warning!!! If your planning a trip anywhere...

I'm afraid to say it but I have tried just about every service out there,,,and the best one I have used is Hotwire. Now, granted you don't get to know the place you are staying until you purchase but if you purchase at the very least a 3 star hotel you will be safe. I have had some incredible hotels at the 3.5 and 4 star levels and have stayed in some incredible hotels for like $59. Atlanta Westin,,,$59a night,,,,Houston Intercontinental Downtown,,$50 a night,,,,,,El Paso at $45 a night. Fort Worth 4 Star Hotel was $60 a night. My wife and I travel a lot and Hotwire consistantly beats all of them at least 90% of the time. As long as you try and book with a month you should do well but we have booked within a weeks time and still get some great deals. We did on our last trip to New Orleans for 4 nights in a 4 star boutique hotel 2 blocks from Bourbon St. for $246 including tax and everything,,,w/free parking across the street at the Casino.
