Fox TV Toasts HotelShark.com

KFOX-TV; the Fox television affiliate for El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico; recently advised travelers to get "consumer feedback" on hotels by visiting "HotelShark.com." The recommendation was posted on KFOXTV.com on December 15, 2005, in a piece entitled "Consumer Watch: Star Crossed Hotel Ratings."

The segment said that to maximize the chance that "your next hotel stay" is "just what you bargained for," read "HotelShark.com" to "get the inside scoop from people who've actually stayed at the hotel." Without the site, "it can be hard to know what you will find when you get to your room."

The endorsement is the third from a network television station this winter. Last month, the ABC television network affiliate in Chicago and a CBS television network affiliate in Kansas recommended HotelShark.com.

HotelShark.com is part of a network of travel content sites that includes SeatShark.com, featuring airline reviews; BnBShark.com, with bed and breakfast reviews; and SpaShark.com, featuring spa reviews. HotelShark.com has received awards from National Geographic Traveler magazine and London's The Independent (UK) newspaper.

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 organizations.
