  • Where’s a good and cheap place to stay for ~4 nights? Illini Union hotel? Illini inn? Marriot? Or another option?
    Hotwire.com and see what you can find. Source: 10 months ago
  • Host canceled for our Minori apartment in July, all prices now are sky-high. And alternatives that locals use to get an apartment for two 3rd week in July?
    I have had good luck with hotwire.com works better on big cities though. Source: 10 months ago
  • Best way to rent a car?
    There is a big difference between weekdays and weekends, Summer weekends are always busy. hotwire.com is always a good place. Priceline is worth putting a low bid on a weekday. Source: 11 months ago
  • Visitor finding your city is damn expensive!
    Check out hotwire.com. I just looked and there were quite a few under $300, and as low as $116 for a 2* hotel in Metrotown. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Could the Costco Visa be the one and only card to use everywhere to replace all of my cards?
    With my Citi Costco card my toll road auto charge falls in the same spending category as "Other Travel." Other Travel includes purchases from: cruise lines, hotwire.com, taxi fare, boat ferry, bridge toll and city local transit. I see this on my year end card spend summary. Finally my toll road auto-pay charges are in that category too. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Car hire in VA
    Like others have said, rental car rates are ludicrously high right now. I had to rent a car for two days last year and the rates were over $80 per day. You may try searching on a secondary travel site like kayak.com or hotwire.com for potential discounts. My general experience is that the rental counters at the airport charge higher rates than other locations (even for the same company), so you may want to switch... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Southeast Alaskan heading to Alyeska for a few days skiing. Anyone have any discount codes for the resort/hotel?
    Sometimes you can get a deal on hotwire.com, there is only one 4 star resort with a pool in Girdwood as far as I know. They are showing rooms for February for a $249 rate. Source: over 1 year ago
  • how many people have you met that have never been to NYC?
    Check out hotwire.com "hot rates", there's almost always some killer deals for NYC given how much hotel inventory the city has. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Is there a site for hotels like Scott's Cheap Flights is for airlines?
    Otherwise Hotwire can have some deals. There is a free forum where you can basically figure out what hotel they are offering. It is usually like 20% cheaper than normal. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I need to find a hotel/ room to spend the night from this coming friday until saturday noon, what would be the cheapest?
    I wasn't sure if hotwire.com was still a thing, but there were some deals on there when I looked- as low as $81 in Dartmouth and up to about $139 in downtown Halifax. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Concert at Soldier field.
    If I could recommend something, you might want to try hotwire.com for the hotels. You can choose the area (you would choose The Loop) and then you get to see the price for the hotel but not the specific hotel. Usually it's way under market value for the hotel, and there are no bad hotels in the Loop, so you could stay there no problem. It can be really annoying trying to get out of Downtown at that time of night,... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Best hotel for a schwanky one nighter downtown?
    Go to hotwire.com and see if there's a 3.5 or 4 star hotel for your night? It's a surprise hotel but even a 3.5 star hotel in Vancouver usually has pretty high standards to meet. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • What would be a perfect day plan for you in downtown Vancouver?
    Check out hotwire.com for any lastminute hotel deals. Yeah, you could just go home, but you might also find a bargain for a 3-4 star hotel on the harbour. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • I don't have a place to have sex with my partner.
    Depending on how that conversation goes, figure out cheap-ish hotels, deal sites like hotwire.com or something, and/or times your or her place is usable. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Anyone with Hotwire Internet? Building forces me to use them.
    They should make hotwire.com allow you to pay the bills and make some other website for travel. Why is this legal? Source: about 2 years ago
  • Place to hangout during layover?
    You might be able to luck into a cheap hotel that's nearby using something like Hotwire. The price might be better than the YWCA, depending on when you need to stay. At the last minute, Hotwire and their ilk are almost always cheaper than the YWCA because the cheap YWCA rooms book first and the hotels get desperate as the day approaches, barring high demand that doesn't exist right now. Remember that Hotwire... Source: about 2 years ago
  • how beneficial is the associate explore rate (mmp)
    Me and the boys wanted to plan a trip to europe in the summer. my buddy works at the marriott but he has no clue. Will we save a lot of money by using the mmp code or is the price decrease insignificant? Is it smarter to find look for hotel deals somewhere else, like hotwire.com or sum? Source: about 2 years ago
  • The protesters aggressively hit our batons with their faces and fell down on the ground to attack our horses...
    Yes....you can fly. Go on hotwire and find you a flight dude....... Source: about 2 years ago
  • API for hotel Occupancy/booking data
    I think hotwire.com has a public API. I googled it but only found api endpoints for historical rates and did not see a means of getting occupancy information out of it. I found their programmable web entry and searched for other hotel related apis. Might be worth looking but I didn't immediately see the sourace I would use. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Using Django as an API, i must be doing something wrong here
    Some new tools with interesting ideas are lurking around (https://htmx.org, https://unpoly.com, https://hotwire.com) that would help achieve what I think you'e trying to achieve (wild guesses here). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Why are hotels crazy expensive!!
    I've had really good experiences with hotwire.com whenever I travel. Check it out with the dates you have in mind - good luck! Source: over 2 years ago

Third Party Airfare Booking Sites: The Power Rankings - who to trust, who to avoid
Hotwire is known for being a site where you might be able to get a great deal on a 'mystery hotel' (where you don't know what the hotel is until you purchase it). This concept has never really worked well for flights. I have yet to ever see any great mystery flight deals.
