WELCOME

Why to contact the hotel directly


     I have talked to clerks at various hotels and they tell me that when I book through a travel site they have to pay a fee and the chances are that I will get the least nice room in the category. I have found this to be true the only two times I booked through a travel site. It seemed convenient, but at the same price I could get a better room by booking direct. I find that contacting the hotel directly also begins a relationship and allows me to get a feeling for the service there. I shop on the travel site and go to the hotel website and book. Trust me. (Photo of the hotel in Granada Spain where they confirmed what I suspected.)
