I have just grabbed a bargain through the website, and thought I would share. I believe it is meant to be a secret hotel type- but some kind of glitch means that viewed on my iPhone or iPad I can see all the hotels! I think safari also does it...
Using the UK site includes the tax (http://www.lastminutetravel.co.uk/info/PageUserAgreement.aspx) where as the US one doesn't. It adds it on before you pay, but first glance rates are not what you end up paying. Comparing what I got UK- US means I paid £375 as opposed to £402 for a Boston hotel for Memorial weekend. Rack rates are nearer £700!
If you do use it, please note the money is still taken from your account in dollars- so make sure you have a good bank card!
I hope that helps someone.

Is this site legit. Some of their prices blow Expedia out of the water?0

Well known and advised on the tripadvisor forums.
It's a secret hotel site, so u are not supposed to know what you are booking- that's why it's cheap!:T0 -

Well they still haven't fixed! I'm getting quoted a £170 saving for 2nts 5star in Frankfurt against advertised rates. Stunning!0
