The last time we've booked hotels was a couple of years ago for Seattle. I did a lot of research checking guide books, websites, AAA book (members get a destination guide for free) to compare hotels. My hubby said he didn't want an older hotel so that eliminated many of them. I also used tripadvisor.com, reading what many travellers wrote, but taking some of it with a grain of salt (especially the really negative or the absolutely glowing ones). |
