I need to reserve a couple of airport hotels and since it hardly matters which ones, for just a night each, I thought I might try bidding for them to keep costs down. I’ve used Priceline a couple of times several years ago but I suspect there are more out there now. Does anyone have an experience they’d like to relate, good or bad, to give me some ideas?

Hotwire.com has a generic “star rating” hotel, unknown to you as to which brand and exact location, at discounted prices. I’ve use them a few times and been satisfied with the results. For example, I got 4 star rooms in downtown Montreal for less than eighty dollars a night, probably a quarter or less of their rack rate.
Generally I do like to know where I’m staying, but good luck. Let us know how this works out for you.
