Why can't I see the name of the hotel or the street address until after I book?

Hot Rate^® Hotels are prices lower than any other travel site, guaranteed.  When brand-name hotels have rooms that would otherwise go unsold, they use Hotwire to fill them.  For us to bring you these great deals, we can't give you the hotel or street address until after you book. Once you book your room, we immediately confirm your reservation and show you the hotel's complete details, including its name and exact location.

To help you book the hotel that's right for you, we clearly list the hotel's Star Rating as well as its customer ratings. You'll also be able to see the city area where each hotel is located, along with an area map, allowing you to review the hotel's neighborhood location
