As soon as I came across HotelReservations.com a few weeks ago I was sure to bookmark it. We don’t do a lot of traveling, not lately anyway, but I’m keeping this site in mind for the next time that one or both of us ends up traveling and needs to make Hotel Reservations. I know we’ll find rooms that are in good hotels and for reasonable prices.
As I said we don’t travel much so that should put a little bit of weight on the fact that I have bookmarked this site. Why did I bookmark it? Well, because I know that when we do travel to just about anywhere in the world I can go to Hotelreservations.com and find not only hotel rooms to book right then and there, but car rentals, and flights too.
This site actually fulfills many vacation needs. As I’ve browsed through the site I’ve found that if I’d prefer to book a vacation rental – perhaps a ski chalet in the winter, or a summer house on the beach I can probably find accommodations at these types of lodgings too. It’s not just hotel rentals.
In fact, they even have complete vacation packages. You can click on their vacation package tab, then fill out a little bit of information such as the type of package you are looking for – flight, hotel and car or any combination. Then choose your departure city, and the city you’d like to visit.
Just for the heck of it I went through the process and decided what kind of packages they had for flight and hotel, for the weekend of Friday January 19th to Monday January 22nd from Toronto to Los Angeles for two adults.
I found that I could sort my results by price, hotel name, price or even city (if I’d chosen to have more than one travel destination). The first result at the top of the list, is I presume, the hotelreservations.com pick. They suggested hotel Angelino, with a total cost of $1464 for two adults and three nights hotel accommodations. I suppose that’s not bad. I then sorted by price and the lowest price I got was $1130. Now I know that prices for flights and hotel accommodations can be higher or lower depending on what day and what date you are traveling so I would suggest fooling around with departure dates in order to find the best prices. Perhaps if I’d chosen to book from Thursday to Sunday or different dates, I might have found a few lower prices.
I do think this is a site worth visiting. Please do visit hotelreservations.com for yourself and see if you think it’s as great a site as I do.
