Vancouver Sun Shines On HotelShark.com

Last Saturday's edition of the Vancouver Sun called HotelShark.com a "widely used" source of "guest critiques of hotel accommodations." The piece ran in the travel section of the October 1, 2005 edition, and was entitled "Even the Best Hotels Can Check In for Criticism."

The article praised HotelShark.com for its "up-to-date information." It further noted that "the biggest attraction of the reviews is their raw candor. The writers often take a refreshingly undiplomatic approach."

The endorsement is the latest of many from major newspapers this year. Last month, the San Francisco Chronicle called HotelShark.com "useful" for travelers "looking for some guidance about accommodations." In January, London's The Independent (UK) called HotelShark.com one of the ten best travel websites in the world. In May, the New York Times advised business travelers to Europe to visit the site to “learn as much as you can about the accommodations.” The Chicago Tribune called HotelShark.com an "unbiased" source of hotel "reviews written by real-world travelers."

HotelShark.com collects, screens, and publishes unbiased hotel reviews written by real travelers. The site publishes submitted reviews only after they have been thoroughly researched and authenticated. HotelShark.com discards well over half of all incoming contributions as insufficient or invalid. The site may be viewed free of charge at the www.hotelshark.com Internet address. HotelShark.com remains 100% owned by its creator.

HotelShark.com is not affiliated with any of the aforementioned publications.
