Hotwire high taxes?

[Darkleafar]

I had just booked a hot deal or whatever it's called with hotwire in Reforma zona rosa área in mexico city, and the hotel turned out to be way out of any metro station, so i called to complain and they offered me credit to rebook. I accepted and ended up booking best Western royal zona Rosa hotel, at a rate of 75 per night. With taxes included, I am being charged around 105 per night. Is this about normal for a Mexico city hotel, or why are the charges so high? I just want to make sure i get three best deal I can. I have also been forced to buy 2 rooms because it's 5 adults and I can't seem to find a way around that. What advise can you guys give me? Thank you for your time.
