Hotwire Revealed
Hotwire revealed is a tool that can be used to reveal hotels from hotewire.com. Hotwire.com does not show the name of the hotel, only the price, location and amenities of a particular hotel. This information can be used to identify a hotel. Simply go to hotwire.com, find a hotel and go to the hotwire revealed website. Fill in the appropriate information and hotwirerevealed.com will reveal the name of the hotel. Not only will it reveal the name of the hotel but it will also give you a convenient link to websites that have more information about that hotel so you can make better decisions before you buy.
