Yes - on wotif.com.au

you can often find which one it is by comparing the amenities and distance to airport etc - they'll cut+paste ;-)

wotif.com.au has great deals - thats my preferred place rather than lastminute

Never actually booked one...but normally it's pretty easy to work out what the mystery hotel is by comparing the details to the other hotels with the same star rating.

I did this for our trip to Thailand next week - $490 for 7 nights for the 3 of us in a 4-star hotel with breakfast. I reckoned it was worth a punt at that price. Turns out it's a Marriot - hopefully it's okay but there's a chance it won't be.

I used wotif.

Marriott's usually are a good place to stay. I am swaying on one that's listed on last minute 5* "easy walk to the circular quay". I am trying my hardest to find out which hotel it is but its not that easy. So I might just go ahead and book.
