Sometimes it feels like a dirty little secret. But I like Hotwire.com I've used it before and I'll certainly use it again. Here's why.
1. Use Hotwire when the event overshadows the accomodations. For example, if you're in town for the big game and you plan to be at the arena/stadium all day tailgating and such, your hotel is kind of irrelevant. As long as it's clean, conveniently located and saves you money for beer, it's a winner.
2. You're broke. You might just get a 4 star AWESOME hotel, at a 2 star cool price.
3. You're trip is ON. No chance of cancellation... this is happening for sure. Then Hotwire is a good choice. If you think you might cancel, or might change plans or might "whatever" then forget it. Hotwire is when it's ON. No refunds.
4. You are not brand loyal. Once more night and Hyatt gives you elite status? Then stay with Hyatt. There are no points, no loyalty bonuses when you pick Hotwire.
5. When Hotwire keeps emailing you and dropping the price.... go with Hotwire. They want your business. They follow their Internet cookies back to you and keep trying to sweeten the deal. They've worked hard. You should take the offer and smile that smug "I got the deal" smile.
