Tommymac Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 I needed to get a room for two nights next week in Batavia, NY. I tried Priceline - no luck on getting any deals. There were two star ratings in town - started at $35 for two star; rejected. Went up to 40$ for one and two star - rejected. Waited 24 hours and tried again - two stars - $43, rejected, one and two stars - $45 - rejected.I did not want to go higher - as most hotels were also listed at $52 in the choose your own area.Looked around on the web at Hotwire, Orbitz, and Cheap Tickets - could find nothing less than $50.Then I went to Travelocity"]Travelocity, a site I had never used. They had a room at the AAA rated 2* Days Inn for $46.60. Cool! Snaped it up. Now I know this is not a big savings from $50, but hey, that $8 will help pay for the gas used on the trip. Main point is Travelocity"]Travelocity rates (for the same hotels on the other big sites) seem to run about 5-8% less. Over time that will save a lot when travelling to smaller cities where Priceline and hotwire are not so effective. Thanks Travelocity"]Travelocity......and thanks BetterBidding! I used the links from the support page here to connect to Travelocity"]Travelocity and the othe sites while checking. :)
