Hotwire will sucker punch you into booking a room. I was offered a 3 star hotel in Danbury CT for $78. Great deal right? Particularly since Hotwire said the competitive sites are charging $169 for this very same room. So I booked it. Hotwire then disclosed the name... Best Western. Then checked the other sites like Hotel.com, Priceline, and Expedia.
They rated the hotel as either a 2 or 2 1/2 star hotel. And every single site had the hotel for $89! So I got scammed. Called Hotwire to discuss how I was mis-lead by them. They had an excuse for their deceptive business practices. Doesn't matter what other sites charge, or their classification of accommodation, Hotwire stands by their lies. I will NEVER use Hotwire again.
