Is there a website or a listing anywhere that attempts to help you "guess" what hotel Hotwire might be sending you to before you actually book it?
For example, Deluxe, NYC Theatre District hotel with spa, business center, high-speed internet, restraunt, and fitness center. There are alot of hotels in the Theatre District, but this probably only describes 4 or 5, right?

This one might have been deciphered already. You can look and see.

I wonder the same thing. I use Priceline always because I can't find a site to help figure out winning hotels on Hotwire.
betterbidding.com is OK but doesn't have a ton of information.
Does anyone know any other sites?
