How internet hotel rates measure up

In a recent study of online travel-booking sites conducted by Harris Interactive, www.aaa.com offered the best daily hotel rate 61% of the time.

The study tracked rates at AAA-rated properties throughout the United States and Canada. The popular belief that the best rates can be found on a hotel's own website was proven to be incorrect—hotel sites offered the lowest rate only 36% of the time, followed by Travelocity (25%), Expedia (17%) and Orbitz (11%).

“While no hotel or travel company can claim it offers the best rate every time, www.aaa.com users are six times more likely to find a better rate than Orbitz users, and four times more likely than Expedia users,” said AAA lodging programs manager Glen MacDonell.
