Another good idea is to check out Trip Advisor's forums or Rick Steve's Graffiti Wall for tips on the city you might be visiting.
I got a great tip for a hotel near Munich Airport from a poster on Rick Steve's Graffiti Wall that came in handy during the 911 tragedy.
There were four of us traveling through Germany and we ended up getting one of the last rooms at the hotel - that I just happened to write down on a piece of paper and luckily put it in my bag. What luck!
Now when ever I travel, I keep a list of hotels closest to the airport in what ever city I am returning from, just in case I get bumped or the flight cancels.
