i would like to add a few things for other members to think about. perhaps you can add this tip to a help page if you find my observation repeatable.
when i used the bidding helper search at top left, i did a comparison of the 2 hotwire tabs. the second tab with the same prices had trip advisor review count that could be matched to hotwire non hidden hotels. ie. the 234 4 star hot rate hotel on tab 2 has 2694 and it so happens that the intercontinental has the exact same number. this worked with the 227 4 star also. on the 1st tab this trip advisor detail appears obscured. it would be worth running some experiments to see how indicative the little reveal can be.
let me know if i am on to something.
have a great day,
brad
