St. Petersburg Times Touts HotelShark.com

Last Sunday's edition of the St. Petersburg Times heralded HotelShark.com as a good place for travelers to "find reviews of hotels." The endorsement ran in the travel section of the October 30, 2005 edition, and was entitled "Finding Your Way: Research, Plan and Price Your Vacation, All on the Internet."

The endorsement is the fourth from a major publication in October 2005. The new edition of Consumer Reports encourages readers to visit "www.hotelshark.com" to "get travelers' opinions" on hotels. A similar piece ran in the Hartford Courant newspaper on October 16, and in the Philadelphia Inquirer on October 23. October also saw HotelShark.com's coverage grow, with sections added for the United Arab Emirates; Spokane, Washington; and Laughlin, Nevada.

The St. Petersburg Times article advised travelers to "read reviews" for "hotels" on "HotelShark.com."

HotelShark.com collects, screens, and publishes unbiased hotel reviews written by real travelers. The site posts 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.
