Ask HN: Hotel Booking Hacks? 6 points by jack7890 16y ago ↗ HN Curious to know if anyone here uses any clever techniques to get the best/cheapest hotels possible. Is there anything better than just using Kayak?
[–] rick888 16y ago ↗ priceline.com?I got $120/night hotels for $40/night. [–] jack7890 16y ago ↗ Yeah, priceline is high risk/reward. Sometimes you get an amazing deal, sometimes you get stuck in a place with bedbugs (I've been there). Although you can probably largely protect against this by only specifying hotels with 3+ stars.
