for july 16-20 hotwire shows a 95% "Amazing" 4* for $187 with free parking. Your List has only 1 4* for that area - Doubletree and one of the amenities lists has free parking. However the Doubletree currently has $22 self parking. Therefore this property must not be the Doubletree, correct? There's no such thing as a hotwire deal giving away parking when the property doesn't?? Thanks, Frank

Aaron, Thanks for your reply and the tip about MAPS and HOTELS.com. For the Memorial Day weekend nights I wanted, that site had it nonrefundable for $129 vs $119 at Hyatt. So for this case, I chose the direct booking. Will always use your HOTWIRE links going forward. Best, Frank

As a dedicated user of your site, sometimes I'll see a hotwire price on a property and compare with the hotel's booking sites prepaid price for those dates. For a specific example Kirkland-Redmond WA 3.5 Condo Free parking Free breakfast Free Internet Pet friendly Indoor pool(s) Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Self-service laundry Internet access Accessible for visually impaired Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Accessible parking Roll-in shower Rate per night $114.00 Nights 2 Rooms ( 2 adults ) 1 Subtotal $228.00 Tax recovery charges + fees $49.10 Hotwire total $277.10 This is clearly the Hyatt House. At Hyatt, which unfortunately doesn't have a support link for you, List prepaid at Average Daily Rate 119.00 USD Subtotal 238.00 USD ( 2 Nights / 1 Room ) Additional Fees & Taxes state tax 20.47 USD city tax 9.04 USD Total Per Room 267.51 USD After all that, my question is: is there a current trend that hotel's prepaid non-refundable rates are coming in cheaper than hotwire's prepaid opaque rates? So our best way to support your work is make these comparisons and use your link to the hotel direct if possible? Thanks for your terrific site! Frank

Free Parking, Free Internet, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, tripadvisor 4.5 stars, but filed under San Jose. I thought the fees seemed a bit high, maybe that's some San Jose tax aspect vs being in Santa Clara proper. Subtotal $206.00 Tax recovery charges & fees $40.67 Total price $246.67 Thanks for your great site! Used your HOTWIRE link, of course.

Free Internet, Pet friendly, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access. the teaser said "act now, previous person got NH Messe"... I'd have preferred that, but this has 100% thumbs up and should be fine. Used your HOTWIRE link. Thanks!

Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Spa Services 95% thumbs up. although one reviewer strongly dislikes the parking situation. Thanks for your great resource!

I'm happy. Hotwire was $39 for this time frame. Interesting that hotwire doesn't have Avis on their sources. used your PRICELINE link. thanks for a great service!

used your PRICELINE link. I'd seen Hotwire "best price" for this at $60. First bid $47 ... the system warned: we want you to win, and you have a very low chance at this price... First bid received the counteroffer of $54 and I accepted that. Your Offer Price: $54.00 (per day) Total Rental Days: 3 days Subtotal: $162.00 Taxes and Fees: $70.23 Total Charges: $232.23 Lowest Published Price: $558.20 (USD) Total Savings:* $325.97 (USD) (You saved 58%) Usually try to plan trips around weekend rates... but Christmas Eve arrival gave me not much bidding room. Thanks for your great site!

Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) High-Speed Internet Access 95% would recommend, comments suggest heart of downtown shopping which is good because we didn't want shuttle/Edgewater.

An area that appears in Ann Arbor search. I thought the price was good since the "advance rate" "20% discount" via tripadvisor = $86. Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Now we need a deal on tickets for Blue vs. Purdue! :) Used your HOTWIRE link. Thanks as always for a great site!

Excellent suggestion! When you take a ticket at the hotel lots, the first half hour is free... so that's fine for dropping off luggage or pick ups. Right in the neighborhood there are 2 hr. parking 8am(or 9am) to 7pm street spaces that seem absolutely safe. As for the other $24 facilities fee...it includes excellent wired & wifi as well as the superb pool/exercise complex. (which has free coffee/tea). We had a great stay!

I'm attending a conference at Venetian... need a place 6/6 checkout 6/10. (and I pride myself for finding an affordable place near the hq hotel.) you've done a great job of identifying Treasure Island as the 4* across the street... for those dates it's $51 plus fees. (and "resort") of course. Via Expedia, I can pay $60 for TI, know for sure what I'm getting, including bonus $50 food credit for 4 night stay, etc. Do you have a link to Expedia that benefits you? Hotels.com also has a deal but the benes aren't as good. thanks for the site!

no amenities. looked at your Choice 20% off link from another thread but that came to $1226.79 for these dates. Hotel rate per night: $329.00 Nights:3 Rooms:1 Subtotal:$987.00 Tax recovery charges and fees:$175.74 $1,162.74 great find via the 4.5 TA score. a bit steep but a special treat to stay at a place TA rated in top ten out of 419 NYC hotels. :) used your HOTWIRE link! Thanks for your great site and insights!

just a Sunday noon to Monday noon. Hotwire was $13.95 + big fees = $33.06 this totalled $24.44 Used your PRICELINE link!

Boutique Hotel, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access $20 to $25 valet parking $109 for Sep 26-29 Clearly doesn't match hotel list. Ideas welcome...thanks!
