Minnesotans Log On To HotelShark.com

The Star Tribune, the major daily newspaper of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, recently said that HotelShark.com's "guest critiques of accommodations have become increasingly popular."

The article says that travelers use HotelShark.com "for advice on where to stay — or avoid — and for sharing their own views on properties they have patronized." The paper went on to call the site's reviews "thoughtful and nuanced," adding, "the biggest attraction is the candor."

The praise was posted on the Star Tribune's website on November 18, 2005. The article was entitled "Online, More Have Their Say on Hotel Stay."
