The reason for choosing a hotel chain like Holiday Inn or Best Western doesn't exist any more because of traveller review websites, argues Leonardo Stassi on Hotel Blogs
Before the arrival of the internet, people were attracted to the safety net of a standardised hotel. They knew what they were getting. But nowadays, customers can hop onto Tripadvisor.com or Holidays Uncovered and find out all the gory details of their potential accommodation at the click of a mouse.
But do we always have the time to sift through scores of reviews, which might not even be reliable? With more people taking frequent, short trips (often on cut price airlines) we're still likely to opt for the quick and easy option of a chain hotel.
Time-poor business travellers are also fans of the chain hotel, as a Trip Advisor survey showed today.
Are chain hotels still popular among your customers?
Comments (62)
People may read more hotel reviews than than before, but hotel brands will always stand out as regular visitors know what they are getting. People are creatures of habit and if they are going to a new destination, they often prefer to stick to a hotel where they know the sheets are clean and the service acceptable.

I can't say that I completely agree, but of course I've never really thought of it quite like that before. Thanks for giving me something to think about when I'm supposed to have a blank mind while trying to fall asleep tonight lol...

CD,You new Picturenoser, you made me fall off my chair by suggesting that Billy Liar and Escape to Victory are better than Citizen Kane. I mean, Billy Liar is more a documentary than anything else, as we all know that Northerners are miserable all the time, while Escape to Victory is to film what Cambridge United playing Peterborough United on a cold and wet November evening are to football

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
