Hotels.com
They're becoming one of the big dogs in this category. Lately they're pushing hotels reviews from their staff.

Trivago
This new site is sort of like the Kayak for hotels as they claim to have the most listings out there as they collect deals from other sites.

HotWire.com
The deals on this site for hotels, airfare and car rentals are sometimes truly amazing. HotWire.com allows you to search for hotels, flights and car rentals by location and date, but certain details are not disclosed until you book the item. For example, for hotels you'll know the general location of the hotel, like Mid-Town or the East Village in New York, the amenities and the star ranking. When you do a search you'll usually have plenty of options, and you'll often find a deal that meets your needs. This site works best for hotels and car rentals. Good flights without wacky departure times or connections are harder to find.

Priceline.com
After checking the sites listed above and other sites from our Travel Web Guide, it's always a good idea to try Priceline.com. If you find a great flight for $250, you can always try to bid even less, say $150, on Priceline. The other sites provide a gauge of what Priceline might accept. If they decline your bid, they sometimes give you a hint on a counter-offer you can make that would be accepted, like maybe $220 in this example. It's worked for us, so give it a try. Also, their service continues to improve. If you book a flight with them, you'll immediately receive an e-mail on a successful bid you could submit for a car rental, and our experience has been that these suggestions provide great deals.
