Today`s travelers need to know what they are buying before making online travel purchases. With more consumers booking travel online than ever before, there`s a better way to shop and book hotel rooms. PlacesToStay.com
debuted its enhanced Web site, offering leisure travelers the most comprehensive hotel information available anywhere online. 

Travelers not only look at hotel rates, but they actually see the hotel, from interior and exterior images, room and area descriptions. They can sort by quality ratings, using a one- to five-star rating with detailed amenities to compare selected hotels to make the best choices. PlacesToStay.com offers more than 31,000 hotels, bed & breakfasts, inns and resorts around the world—taking the guesswork out of picking the best hotel for travelers` needs.

The Web site makes it easy to choose the right hotel, with new features, such as:

á    Expanded search capabilities - Knowing where to stay, searchable down to landmarks and neighborhoods, truly refines the booking experience. Travelers search by criteria important to them-for example, New York City hotels in Times Square.

á    Quality ratings - With its five-star hotel ratings system, PlacesToStay.com offers travelers the ability to view and sort hotel choices by ratings.
á    Sorting that makes sense - PlacesToStay.com allows sorting of selected hotels by price, rating, packages, discounts and location.

á    Amenities that fit traveler needs - Want to take a dog for a stroll around San Francisco Bay? Or stay only in hotels that offer free stays for children? Can`t live without room service? PlacesToStay.com customers sort by amenities that meet their needs.

á    The latest deals - PlacesToStay.com`s close relationship with its participating hotels allows it to offer exclusive special discounts.

 

“PlacesToStay.com is committed to helping the leisure traveler book the best hotel at the best available rate. It`s vital for customers to know exactly what their hotel looks like and where it is, before they get there,” said Eric Christensen, founder, WorldRes. “We want to provide the most comprehensive hotel information on the Web in order to help travelers make intelligent lodging decisions.”
