Just booked a 3* "Hotel" in Sherman Oaks, CA which I thought was going to be the Marriot, and turned out to be a Best Western MOTEL. (Best Western Carriage Inn). Even better, I was charged $126 a night for a MOTEL which is listed on the Best Western Website as going for $119. I think I just got screwed by Hotwire. Beware. Just went and looked at Hotwire again, and to add insult to injury, they are now listing the same entry at $119... I'm going to think twice before I use Hotwire again.
