According a Travel Search Engines Review, at www.Travel-Search-Engines.com, the best sites for hotel bookings are:
- www.BestTravelCoupon.com - A 2012 travel search engine with proven results to beat sites like Expedia, Priceline, and Orbitz on hotel rates. Also great with flights.
- www.Kayak.com - Another travel search engine that uses different search tools but provides excellent pricing. Just had a public stock offering in 2012.
Instead of bouncing between sites to shop for deals and save some cash...just use these sites.
Which Site Should I Use?
You should use both Kayak and BestTravelCoupon to check for the best price. The reason is they use different search tools. This is especially true with the flight search. Kayak uses the Google powered ITA Software while BestTravelCoupon uses a different search functions.
In tests a slight edge went to BestTravelCoupon on pricing but for some flights within the USA, Kayak had better pricing.
For Hotels...BestTravelCoupon was the best site. They have the largest inventory of hotels and they consistently posted the lowest rates.
Here is an example of a rate comparison for hotels in Chicago: BestTravelCoupon vs Travelocity:
- Grand Hyatt Seattle: Travelocity: $1,722 BestTravelCoupon: $1204
- The Westin Seattle: Travelocity: $1281 BestTravelCoupon: $1153
- Pan Pacific Seattle: Travelocity: $1506 BestTravelCoupon: $1146
- Crowne Plaza Seattle Downtown: Travelocity: $1,040 BestTravelCoupon: $730
- Best Western Plus Executive Inn: Travelocity: $814 BestTravelCoupon: $512
We also found some article on the net about this site. Here is a good one on Las Vegas Hotels. For years, I used Vegas.com but that's a 1990s thing to do. There are better options today with the development of these Travel Search Engines".
Here is the article on "Best Hotel Deals In Las Vegas". It really comes down to "Why use only 1 travel site to find a deal when these new sites can search over 100 different sites to find better deals?"

UPDATE AUGUST 11, 2012
Several new price comparison tests with BestTravelCoupon.com and sites like Priceline.com, Kayak.com, Orbitz.com, and Travelocity.com. You can really see how you save on hotel rates.
Just visit the site and click "PROVEN RESULTS" for a list of price comparison tests. Some of the other sites were over 100% higher for the same hotel and same dates. This really shows the value of using the "Travel Search Engine" approach to booking travel and hotels.
Again...it comes down to "why use 1 travel site when these sites will search over 100 sites for you"?
