Yo, this is a story all about how your life could get flipped, turned upside down, and we'd like to take a minute, just sit right there we'll tell you the bad news about getting an awesome deal on Hotwire. Oops, that didn't rhyme.
Still: Twitter-er DrewMeyers scored a kickass deal on Hotwire. Which is awesome. Remember, Hotwire is an opaque booking site which means you can get serious deals on your hotel stays but you don't know the name of the hotel until your credit card has been charged for the non-changeable, non-cancellable, non-refundable reservation (you can specify your star class and the general area that you prefer, though).
In this case, the Hotwire game worked out for Drew, who ended up scoring a room at Sir Francis Drake for August 4-7 at a rate of $78 per night. But there is bad news: parking is $46. EW.
The lesson? Hotwire is a gamble. Oh, wait, we knew that. But be super-aware of parking fees no matter what kind of a deal you get, those extra charges can add up quickly and hit you pretty hard.
Score an awesome deal lately? Tell us where, when, and how much in the comments below.
