Anyone ever use skoosh to book offsite hotels?

[loriandmatt]

their prices seem very very good, but i am wondering if i am missing something.

i was raised with the "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" and "what's the catch" mentality, so i am digging for some opinions of others who have used it.

I used it for the first time about 2 weeks ago as I was looking around for rooms and it being Spring Break rooms were more than they usually are,especially on a saturday night.Well I usually use Hotwire,Travelocity,Orbitz and I had never heard of Skoosh.So I booked a room that I had just seen for $98 on another site for $64.The next day I called the hotel to confirm my reservation and they had nothing.It took 3 days for the hotel to have the reservation as Skoosh has to fax the papers over so it's not automatic like the big sites where you book today and the hotel has your info the next day.I was actually a little worried it wasn't a real site and I was taken but everything was fine,I got a good deal,it took the hotel a bit longer to get my reservation but all in all,I was happy.

I have seen other reviews were people are very happy with Skoosh.

They cancelled their room reservation and had no problems getting a refund.
