They both look good, however I much preferred the travel site.
With the hot deals site, I found there were too many products on the homepage, I felt as if I had landed on a subpage. I'd recommend adding a bit of intro content to the homepage, and having a much smaller 'Today's hot Deals' section.
As for the travel site, I liked the layout. I might add some pretty images and enhance the visual layout a bit, to make the site prettier - not too much, but maybe a little, like Travelocity.com has
