A lot more of the websites have been creating combination packages that include hotels, flights, and car rentals in order to get you what looks like a great deal.  Often these deals are going to be worth the combination package price, but you need to be very careful in searching for these deals.  Sometimes you can pick the hotel, and in some cases the package will not allow you to change hotels.  This means that the package may be for the best hotel in the area, where as creating your own package gets you the mid level hotels that are actually affordable.  It is up to you to either take the combo deal or to search out a separate option.

Just keep in mind that you still need to research the combination package as thoroughly as you would just a hotel booking.  Make sure that you compare all of the deals that you can find for price as well as the types of options you have.  It is better to be able to choose the type of hotel in the package than to be stuck with the top level hotel that makes the package unaffordable.  You are your own travel agent in other words.  You can find out what package deals the hotel may offer you directly.  Maybe you have a car rental coupon that chooses the hotel and you can create a deal from that.  There are several ways that you can choose a combination deal based on your different starting points.
