Summary of of Latest Survey Results.

USA is particular well covered with discount Accommodation Booking Services, although there appears to be more than there really is as there are many sites which are copies of others.  The world's largest is the Hotel Reservations Network (travelnow.com) has the greatest North American coverage, and greatest range of properties per city. The smaller Quickbook.com is priced about the same but much more limited in range, but this is offset by the fact you usually do not have to pre-pay. The heavyweights Expedia.com and Orbitz.com win on comprehensiveness and quality of web-site.

The US market also has an alternative buying method - both Hotwire and Priceline deal in discounted hotel rooms the same way as they sell airline seats - you bid a price and a area location and they come back to you with a room in a hotel. Hotels are not really like airline seats, they are much more individual and we do not feel comfortable about this method of buying a hotel strictly on price. It may suit you though.

The US market has virtual no Last-Minute type sites and the only one we recommend for North America is LateRooms.com which is a UK company.

The Accommodation Search Engine Network (ase.network) is worth utilising initially to initially see what is available at your location. See our How to Use recommendations.
