I've used them for a hotel once.. not sure if they still follow this practice, but I used it to book a hotel in chicago... the price I got was great... but I didnt know what hotel it was until I pushed process.. I got to pick number of stars and approximate location. I was there on business, and the hotel I was at, wasnt really close to where I wanted to be... it was at the far end of the area it said it was.

I would not have stayed at the hotel I ended up at had it not been for Hotwire, it wasn't bad, but the location and amenities were not what I had hoped. I wouldnot have given it the 3 stars hotwire said it had.

I might use hotwire again for a vacation, where it doesnt really matter where I am staying, but for using it for business -- nope... I much prefer sites like Hotels.com... where I know what I am getting (and most of the major chains will beat the advertised rate if you go to them directly.
