thereuare Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 BetterBidding mentioned in the LA Times:Seek advice. If you are using Priceline or Hotwire, visit a site like http://www.betterbidding.com before you commit. There you can learn which hotels in a particular category have been successfully secured. LA TIMES ARTICLEThe topic of the article is the subjectivity of hotel ratings and their lack of consistency from site to site (and even site to site owned by the same company!).An excellent article as it brings to light a problem that we have talked about here for quite some time. Consistency in ratings throughout the industry is very important, but it's even more important when buying an opaque product.We commend James Gilden for a great piece and thank him for including us in his article. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
