From Miami to Seattle, HotelShark (www.hotelshark.com) Tattles On U.S. Hotels

With domestic trips soaring, more Americans are logging on to HotelShark to get the straight scoop from fellow travelers on hotels across the United States.

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) April 29, 2003 - With domestic trips soaring, more Americans are logging on to HotelShark to get the straight scoop from fellow travelers on hotels across the United States.

According to an April statement from the Travel Industry Association of America, 2003 may well see a record number of driving trips taken by Americans to U.S. destinations. And with its famous collection of guest-written reviews of hotels in 31 states, HotelShark is helping travelers like never before.

HotelShark was named one of the five best travel websites by National Geographic Traveler magazine last year. More recently, nationally syndicated travel columnist Michael Shapiro praised the website for its "frank hotel assessments."

Just as HotelShark is a popular trip planning tool, so to is it a thriving post-trip commentary forum. Recent postings on HotelShark describe an "awesome" Florida hotel, an ""immaculately clean" New Orleans mansion, and a "dive" on Oahu. Reviews may be posted by visiting http://www.hotelshark.com .

Many travelers discover HotelShark because it is a top search engine result. In a test conducted this week, HotelShark was a first-page search result for the term "hotel reviews" on Google, the world's largest search engine. A first page search result generally means one of the first ten results, since the default number of results per page is ten. Neither HotelShark nor its parent SharkPage, Inc. is affiliated with Google Inc.
