I constantly use travel sites and prefer expedia for booking but use tripadvisor.com to research. They have tons of user reviews and you get a good feel for the place. I had a very bad experience with Priceline. I used their bid process for a hotel in NYC for my family - wife and 2 kids. There was a warning that they only guarantee accomodations for 2 and that you have to contact the hotel. I didnt think that would be a problem, bad move on my part. With the bid process (you know the Shatner gig) you pay up front before you know the hotel. Well I got a good rate...BUT this hotel ONLY accomodates 2 people in the room, they have no rooms at all that have 2 people. I had a 3 hour battle with priceline and the hotel to finally get refunded. I wont do that again. Expedia has good rates.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
