Hotels: To go direct, or through "deal" sites.

Travelling is costly- no doubt about it,
and there are plenty of sites that claim to offer you better deals.
Are these sites worth it? Let's check it out!
Here I'm going to show you different rates for the same hotel on different sites!
*Lets say we are going to stay in San Antonio, Texas for one night (Wed June 10th- Thurs June 11th).
*I will be using 1 room for 2 adults.
*The hotel of choice is the Howard Johnson Express Inn.
*The rooms will all be based off having 2 Queen sized beds.
*I will not be using any sort of discount (CAA, AAA etc.) for these prices, and prices will have currency listed beside them.
*Prices are without taxes!
