Travel with Hotwire

The short version of this story is that we blew a rod on the engine of the motor home, and had to book a hotel for this weekends convention.

My tip: Try HotWire! We were able to reserve a very nice hotel, with free breakfast (including fresh fruit, meats, juices, coffee; not just doughnuts), free wifi, microwave and refrigerator, indoor pool, free parking, king size bed... many amenities... the price? Just $36 +tax!

We are just three minutes to Meijer, where we bought simple foods that we could take into the conference for lunch and heat up in the room for dinner, saving us from eating out.

The "discounted rate" available at similar hotels in this area were $99 and up, so we are very pleased with the rate we were able to get with HotWire.
