Sure it's easy to get lured in by the fabulous deals on Expedia and Travelocity - think there's no catch? There is. By the time you arrive at your hotel your reservation has been red flagged as "discounted". This means that if there's a less than desirable room way off in the corner, by an elevator, or with absolutely no view, that room, more than likely, will be yours. Yes, you can pay at the desk to upgrade but then your "deal" just went out the window. If your room location or size doesn't matter - go for it. Oh and do take Expedia up on the 24 hour price guarantee. I booked a trip to Cancun and checked the price again an hour later. It had dropped $150. I called and not only did they give me the new price but they awarded me a $50 travel coupon for my next trip. Great service. Gotta love that.
