Opaque Hotel Deals Spread To Traditional Wholesalers

Aloha Kakou:

When you think of opaque hotel deals, you usually think of Priceline or Hotels.com, where you "name your own price" and if your rate matches the rate offered by one of the hotels, you've bought yourself a room. In these situations, the name of the hotel is revealed only after you've paid and locked in a reservation.

While this situation may work fine for some travelers, anyone who is more choosy about their accommodations may not be happy with the result, as the attached article illustrates.
