Finding the Best Hotel Rate?

hotwire will allow you to compare several other travel sites pricing. However the reason I dont like booking a hotel through these companies is that they charge you in advance for your stay.

What ive done successfully in the past is to call the hotel directly and tell them you got $XXX.XX price on whatever site and see if they will match it, then book through them. They will typically only hold your room with a credit card, or sometimes charge you a one night deposit. Ive done this on several occasions.
