re: Booking a hotel

My wife is a GM of a hotel in one of the major chains. She always says to NEVER book through a third party(Expedia,Booking).

This is great advice. I travel a ton for work and at least 1 or 2 times a month there is someone who booked through a 3rd party standing in the lobby being told that there are no rooms and there is nothing the hotel can do for them.
