Anyone use Hotwire.com

Since I've had to postpone our WDW trip from November to May 2009, I'm planning a long weekend trip to San Antonio for the kids and I. I've booked a hotel for one night on the Riverwalk, but wanted to book a hotel close to Seaworld for the time we'll spend there. I was thinking of using Hotwire.com. Has anyone used it? How did it work out for you not knowing the name of your hotel before you booked it? TIA for your help.

I've used Hotwire several times. Things have worked out good so far. Most recently, I used it to book our hotel in Chicago for spring break. We ended up with the Hyatt which was very nice. No problems at all.

I also used Hotwire for our upcoming trip to Cancun in July. I booked the Hilton Golf & Spa resort (7 nights - 3 adults & 1 kid/my oldest is now considered an adult) with airfare and got a pretty good rate. I priced the hotel and airfare separately on several travel sites and saved about $400.00 on average.

I used Hotwire once when we needed to travel unexpectedly to a funeral in Tampa.

We got very reasonably priced airfare and car rental, and the hotel they put us in was very close to were we needed to be. It worked out very well for us.

I've used Hotwire and Priceline. I've always had a good experience with both. They are great if you are not particular about which specific hotel you want. I have had excellent results at getting rooms near the airport, if we have a late flight in or an early flight out.
