Hotel Reservations the easy way...

I prefer to book my Hotel Reservations online. I like to look at the actual hotels and see the pictures of the rooms as well as read any reviews/informations left by previous guests. Why this is important can be seen by this recent example, we went to Columbus not long ago and the first hotel we were going to stay at I noticed some of the recent guest reviews pointed out maintenance issues with the hotel and cleanliness issues. I then decided to find another hotel, which I did in a similar price range but one that had better guest reviews. I also love the feature of booking a flight and a hotel in one package. In the past Miguel and I have done this to visit New Orleans and Florida, ending up saving hundreds of dollars by taking advantage of this type of a package. We have always ended up with a fantastic hotel by doing this, many times five star hotels at a bargain price.
