I Heart Priceline.com + Biddingfortravel.com
I really do. I'd never used them before this, but I knew the priceline game. You pick a region in the city you want to stay in, the dates, a number of stars, and then you name a price. It's a pretty great idea, and I'm sure they make plenty of money by tricking suggesting people bid too high.
And then there was a site called biddingfortravel.com. People post the details of their bids, and whether or not they were successful. It's brilliant. No longer do you have to fly totally blind on priceline. You can even predict (somewhat) what hotel you'll get.
After a few rebids and counter-offers by priceline, I ended up getting a four star (!) hotel in the center of London for $71 a night. Pretty good considering hostels were going to run us around $30/p/n. Even better when you realize that the "super special internet sale price" for the room on the hotel's own site 100GBP, which is about $190. I'm such a jew.
