For a couple of weeks now, we have been "shopping" for the best deal on a 2-night hotel stay in Columbia for our family vacation later this year. We always check out hotels.com and sometimes expedia.com. Once we find a hotel we're interested in, we go to the actual "hotel company" website to see if there are any more pictures or information to help us with our decision.
While on hotels.com we found a Country Inn & Suites that had a 1 bedroom hotel room, which means there is a separate bedroom with a king-sized bed and living area with a sofa bed - Perfect for us! The cost on hotels.com was $115.00 per night. When we checked it out on Country Inn & Suites website, the cost was $135.00 per night. As we moved around some of the pages on their website, we saw a note off to the side that said, "The best online rates...guaranteed," so we checked it out. The deal is...if you find a better rate somewhere else online, they will match that rate AND give you another 25% off!
After you make the reservation on their site, you "make a claim" for them to check out the other deal you found online, and then after they approve it, they will send you a confirmation email letting you know what your new rate is. If the claim is not approved, you can cancel your reservation without penalty.
We just got our confirmation email today, and for the 1 bedroom hotel room, we will only be paying $86.25 per night! How sweet is that?!?

Good find! We don't end up staying at hotels very often, but I'll definitely keep that in mind if I end up having to do any hotel shopping.
