I used Hotwire for the first time a few weeks ago, getting Extended Stay America for $39 for one night. When I checked out I got a receipt stating "Advance Deposit Credit $33.59, Rm229 HOTWIRE LOW $29.99". Taxes were $3.60 which is what made it 33.59.

Hotwire charged me $39.00 for that night, plus $11.18 in "Taxes recovery charges and fees", for a grand total to Hotwire of $50.18.

Is it normal to get a receipt that shows what Hotwire paid for the room? Seventeen bucks profit on a thirty-three dollar room ....

It's not normal for the hotel to show/give you this receipt.

As long as you were happy with the price vs a traditional booking i wouldn't worry too much about what HOTWIRE made... you'd be very surprised if you knew how much mark-up was involved in many of the items you buy every day.
