Okay I will admit, I am a full pledged cheap ass. So as a result I want the best deal possible. We are going to Ottawa in a couple of weekends, and are looking for a good deal on a nice hotel. I have saw a deal for Priceline's Express which you do not really know what hotel you are getting. But I think I cracked it and figured out the hotel. Has anyone here used this or hotwire's deal of the day? Could you let me know how it turned out, I do not want to be stuck in a strip motel, or a motel out of a scene of a Rob Zombie movie.

DH did this recently through Priceline and we ended up getting a Holiday Inn & Suites right by the airport (Buffalo, NY). It was a nice room too. Honestly it was nicer than some other rooms we got on the whole summer trip where we actually saw what we got.
So yeah, our experience with blind booking has been a good one.

DH and I just started our own travel agency, got all the training and certifications and I have to tell you, if you want a good deal and a guarantee that it will be what you’re looking for, you should find a certified travel agent either in your area or online.

Travel agent is not interested in our one night stay. I am really thinking we will just do The Sandman by the airport, free parking, free breakfast and a 10 minute drive to the competition. The downtown one is $28 for parking, no breakfast, and 25 minutes from the competition. We are just using it to sleep in so amenities are not a factor.Momto2boys973 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 5:48 pm DH and I just started our own travel agency, got all the training and certifications and I have to tell you, if you want a good deal and a guarantee that it will be what you’re looking for, you should find a certified travel agent either in your area or online.

That is my fear. As I said I am a cheap ass, but I want comfort and security. Looking at it , it may be not worth the risk and I’ll just stay at a hotel chain I know and trustAnonymous 1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 6:45 pm We did that once years ago and the hotel was so sketchy we didn't even stay there.
