I was looking to book a room in the Seattle area for one night. I looked at several other booking websites and knew I wanted a 3 star hotel. I went with hotwire because they were the cheapest. After I booked it I noticed the hotel that they called a 3 star was rated as a 2 star on all the other sites and I could have saved quite a bit more elsewhere. I called them and they said they use ratings based off the customers that stay at the hotels. WTF?!?!? I've never heard of such stupidity in a travel agency! Needless to say I wont be back. Ill go where I know Ill at least get what I pay for!
