I noticed the high taxes on Orbitz the last few days too! They even had a separate "hotel fee" in addition to the already high taxes and fees line item. For ASSp, there was an additional $150 PER NIGHT fee. I also saw that on certain values Orbitz was automatically adding the dining plan, so that increased the taxes and fees too. I am getting so annoyed with these 3rd party sites lately. Can't I just get a room without too much hassle?
Sorry for the rant. Back to Hotwire/Priceline. I keep checking everyday for my dates too and it seemed like the choices are getting pretty weird. I saw one yesterday that was $330 for the "last person who booked got Pop Century" on HW.
I've been watching Coronado springs and POFQ on Hotwire for Aug 16-18 Today POFQ is gone, and for Coronado the room rate was $224 ($112 per night) and the fees were $233!!!!
Totally kicking myself for not booking 2 days ago when the fees were like $40.
