I just downloaded this to see what it is like. It's an intriguing tool that produces a lot of rates at properties I would never otherwise look at because the time involved to retrieve the rates is greater than my interest in the property.

Cons: It's missing Orbitz and Travelocity. Two HUGE booking engines.

Pros: It has a nice interface and produces a large list of available properties. From the list of what's available, I can better assess my Priceline opportunities as well as search for lower rates on the big booking engines and/or compare against hotel-points-earning rates at the chain websites.
