Hotels.com Review

I love getting a good deal, so I'll occasionally browse the hotel deals on hotels.com. There are three reasons I generally don't book with them though:

* you have to pay in advance and cancellations are generally NOT available. That's a FAR more restrictive condition than the industry norm of allowing cancellations up until day of arrival. Unless you get a SERIOUS discount, it is NOT worth booking on ANY web site that requires pre-payment.

* prices are generally not that great. Despite having onerous conditions, their prices basically suck. You can easily find better deals elsewhere.

* limited range of hotels: I like seeing the NON-chain hotels, and those are not always listed on hotels.com
