Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com. They're all fine. Be sure that you really are getting a break on the price by checking the hotel's website. Often they are just matching the lowest price on the hotel website, and they may add a processing fee to the total so it's slightly more expensive.

Just my two cents, but you can often get the same price booking directly thru the hotel. If the price is higher on the hotel website than Orbitz, call the hotel reservations desk---*not* the 800# but the actual property---tell them of the Orbitz price and ask if they can match it. Often this step will not be necessary b/c the hotel website frequently offers as good or better a price than booking services like Orbitz.

Check if the taxes on Orbitz are included or not, and then do the same on the hotel's website.
If Orbitz is cheaper, go for it.
Just make sure to call hotel directly to confirm reservations - and this is just a general advice for all kinds of reservations, doesn't matter how they were made.
