Acknowledging that motivations vary from best pricing to accessing perks or just greatest convenience, I notice that there is a plethora of options when considering hotels. Most recently I've been looking at hotels in Hong Kong and Shanghai and see all the basic web access sites (hipmunk, expedia, ... ) plus the last minute late rate options (lastminute, wotif ...) and then there is direct booking through the parent program (starwood hilton, IHG, accor ...) or directly to the hotel. Which way to go? Or does it depend on your objective (price, perks, ease)? Oh, and I forgot to mention travel agents of course with wholesale packaging. Sometimes an easy option.
So what do people do? What are the tricks and lessons of experience that are out there?
