Done around 37 trips to the US, 50+ hotels, almost every one of them thru an agent (Royal Pacific @ Universal & Disney, I have booked those direct)
Agents offer discounts you don't often get direct, strange system but that's how hotel reservations work.
i never use a booking website, except for once when it worked out really really well
it was when DD and her friend stayed in new york for 3 nights (on their way down to WDW)...
i couldn't find them any hotel for under $300/night...(well...there were a few, but they were the sort of places, two young girls would be expected to earn a bit extra on the side, if you know what i mean )
so when they were actually on the plane, crossing the atlantic, i found an incredible deal on expedia...
for a really nice hotel in the times square area...
i went to the hotel website and the same room was going for almost $400/night...
but on expedia it was just over $100/night!!!!!!
so naturally i booked it for them....
i was worried they'd get stuck in the basement or something, but no, they were given a really nice room....and for an amazing price!!!
unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work for disney resorts...
