I went online to check out the new site Hotel Reservations to see how easily it worked and the variety of options it offers to the traveler, whether domestic or international.  I must admit that I was pleased with how easily it works, the wide variety of offerings and the fact that it not only gives domestic travel and hotels but also international options.

So many of the sites just offer domestic information that for those of us that are traveling internationally it just doesn't work well to use them.

As a hotel owner for a number of years I was really interested in how the listings of the hotel options came up.  Was there a good selection in the town?  Was the booking procedure easy?  Did you get a confirmation?  With this, I found that the site worked well.  Sure, they take the information from other sites on what the hotels have to offer and their rate and they don't list all the hotels in certain towns, but that's not the problem of the site, it's the problem of the hotel owner for not submitting them to the web. 

In order to provide good service to the user the managment team of the travel site needs to stay on top of the changes, offer incentives for the buying public to purchase from them vs another site and have a smooth, easy to use site.  It appears to me that this travel site meets all of those requirements.

If you are a traveler looking for hotels in cities around the world you are going to want to check this site out.  If you are a hotel owner you are going to want to submit your infomation to the site in order to get listed.  It's a site that will be used by more and more people all the time and you won't want to miss the opportunity to showcase your hotel!

Let's help spread the word about the alternative site and see if they maintain their quality in time.  Sure hope they do!
