FYI - No news if it's still the IC
Yessssssssssssssss! Got the IC New Orleans. Thanks for the heads up/twitter up. I was surprised that it's $10 all in ($8.62 + $1.38 tax) and not $10+ reg rate taxes.

Off to cancel the terrific $59+ Crowne Plaza MSY Airport Travelzoo rate bk3day told me about.

Thank you, Swag

LastMinuteTravel is owned by a Florida company called Tourico Holidays. Tourico has their own site that exposes the hotel ID's, which are the same across sites.

So, for example, when you click on LMT for the 2* Kissamee deal, you go to a page with this URL:
Code:
http://www.lastminutetravel.com/PageHotelDetail.aspx?hotelId=1739&provider=localTgsProvider
Note the Hotel ID is 1739.

Now, plug it into this URL
Code:
http://www.touricoholidays.com/en/PageHotelDetail.aspx?hotelId=____&provider=localTgsProvider
replacing the underscores with the ID from above. In my example, that's:
Code:
http://www.touricoholidays.com/en/PageHotelDetail.aspx?hotelId=1739&provider=localTgsProvider
It's exposed as the Howard Johnson of Kissamee. This should work for all the deals, and any other LMT "undercover" hotel.
This works excellently, and it helped me to scope out and chose the best options for a road trip through SLC, BOI, and SEA.

Thank you, Swag!

Guys, help me out here. Are the only $10 hotels the ones listed at http://www.lastminutetravel.com/info/10deals.aspx ? Right now they list Las Vegas, San Juan, Houston, Montreal, New Orleans, and Riga.

Wilbur mentions SLC, BOI, SEA. Do those have $10 rooms too?

And the web page lists the dates that the $10 rooms are available, so I don't even have to guess that. Or am I missing something?

Wilbur has referred to Swag's post upstream on how to uncover the "mystery" of which property is being offered.

Yes, no guessing necessary.

That new listing of dates on LMT is VERY nice.
Saves lots of time.

Once again we see that LMT is not really so evil.
...except for their non-$10 prices !

I really enjoyed my stay at IC New Orleans. Got a corner room ending in XX11. Thanks to the hotel and LMT!

I guess they want to bring in some revenue on this. Its still not all that bad since at most of them there is only a day between. You can get three nights for basically the price of one. Its not practically free anymore, but still pretty cheap.

Returned from 2 night weekend stay at Houston Hilton. I am Gold but no benefits like lounge or breakfast were offered. But that's okay, it was a great rate and standard room was large enough. Was however annoyed by the dozens of cigarette butts on my terrace, mind you this is a non-smoking room on a non-smoking floor. These were not from night before, as some were discolored and streaked the concrete, from whenever the last time it rained, which could have been more than a few weeks! Also had mold in shower along cracks and from a pipe sticking out of ceiling above shower!??

What surprised me most was staff refused inputting my Gold HHonors for incidentals. Couldn't find this anywhere in terms and conditions. First time I have had this outlandishly denied without proof. Is this standard now? If so, will have to reconsider future Hilton stays. Would have been more convenient eating at hotel and connecting to Internet there rather than going out, but if no points, what's the point?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but this deal is almost DEAD.

Last week I was able to book one night at $10. Now the $10 rate only shows up if I book 2 or more nights (i.e. one night at the regular rate and one night at $10).

OP- Please change your original post to reflect this new restriction!
