One advantage of using Hotwire over Priceline is that, since a single, specific hotel is being offered on HW, the amenity icons will tell you whether the hotel under consideration offers shuttle service.

In a situation where some hotels on the Priceline list (on Betterbidding) are reported to not offer shuttle service, sending a little more on HW might be money well spent.
