Need Advice About On-line Hotel Booking Services?

YW asked:

I plan to go to New Orleans, Louisiana at the end of this month for Mardi Gras. I am going over the internet to find a hotel deal. I have come across various online hotel booking services, such as “travel.hotels-and-discounts.com”, “hotel-rates.com”, “bookit.com”, “reservations.hotelscheap.org”, etc. Some of these services require up-front full payment. My question is “How safe is it to book through these services (especially when one has to pay up-front)?” What good or bad experience do you have? Can someone recommend a reputable online hotel booking service, since there are so many of them out there? Thank you for your advice.

What area of Chicago to stay?

jjjjj asked:

I am planning a trip and staying in Chicago a couple of days. I’m trying to get an idea of what neighborhood to book my hotel in. I don’t really care about tourist type things, rather just be in a good spot for bars, music, art, roaming streets, neighborhood type feel, lots of Chicagoians not tourists. Any help on details of Northside and Southside would help, heard Wrigley is a good area for these things but only from whatever comes up on internet search.
Thanks!

Abu dhabi airport Hotel?

madusa666 asked:

I am going on holiday to thailand, via Abu Dhabi, The return flights have been changed and we now have a 14 hr stop over in Abu dhabi, We are wanting to book a room in the airport hotel but can’t seem to find anything on the internet with any information on prices or how to pre-book a room.

Any information would be great.
We arrive at abu dhabi at 12 midnight, so we would be too tired to be driving anywhere and theres not going to be much going on.

We just want to book a room in the hotel. The airline does not provide accomodation for us.
Thanks annoni, but i cant visit the reception until i go on holiday and dont want to get there, then not be able to get a room. I want it sorting before we set of or im going to be worrying about maybe having to sleep on a hard airport floor and itll ruin the holiday
Thanks Rashid, but thats a bit pricey for me. Just wanting asimple room where we can get our heads down for a few hours then showered, not going to have much time to see Abu dhabi by the time we’ve had a sleep, shower and something to eat

DIVG asked:


Don’t tell me expedia or priceline or hotels.com
They spent too much money on advertising, so their rates a quite high.

Are there any smaller hotel booking sites where you can find real cheap rates?

is it cheaper to book Vegas hotels online or the day of at the hotel?

Wuendy Z asked:


I need to know if anyone knows from EXPERIENCE if its cheaper to book a hotel online for Vegas hotels or at the hotel, the day off. I am looking at Treasure Island or whatever is on the strip.

The reason I ask is because I figure hotels need to unload hotel rooms the day off and I might be able to get it cheaper than booking online.

How to get best hotel rates in Malaysia, walk in or book in advance online?

MoeJoe asked:


I will be visiting Malaysia in April, im hoping to travel around the mainland and visit some of the East and west coast Islands. Just come back from tunisia where i paid dearly for not booking my hotels online. Just wanted to know what the best system is in Malaysia for getting the cheapest rates. Should i book in advance, or just walk in and negotiate, if i walk in is the marked price considerably higher than online price, which makes negotiating unworthwhile.
When you say travel agents, do u mean UK ones or ones in Malaysia, and if Malyasia can i book when i arrive.

Should I book hotel in Bali online?

azril! azril! asked:


Hi,
Guys,

I am going to Bali this coming in mid-January. I have read loads of hotel websites and reviews. I am quite scared to book online since most reviews I read are not good. Well, my budget is dirt cheap actually, but I am not looking for luxury.

Is it risky if I book for only my 1st night and look the rest once I get there?

Thanks.
