Hi Yellowdog,

I think this is a great way to boook hotelrooms. I heard about this (PRICELINE / HOTWIRE) through Tripadvisor.com and i am spreading the word.

We got our entire trip to New England planned and booked through here and saved a lot of money. Looking forward to see the hotels - never read about any troubles with the hotel check in? Do You?

You shouldn't have any trouble at hotel check-in... the biggest 'problem' is that a user may want a room with two beds and none are available or a smoking/non-smoking room and their preference can't be met... but usually the hotel will do what they can to accomodate.

Sometimes there are check-in issues, but no more or less than any other booking service, so it's always a good idea, regardless of how you book, to bring a confirmation of your reservation with you as it does make any issues easier to resolve.

Enjoy your stay(s).

Thank You for the advice - I have all the documents needed - just in case.
