firefly333 Posted September 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Im staying at the Drury to get their free cruise parking, but if I am in doubt about a hotel, I check out the ratings and feedback on tripadvisor . com site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone stayed at the Staybridge suites in New Orleans? if so how was it pros and cons. We stay there. Clean rooms, nice free breakfast, close to the Quarter and in a safe area.

I always pick up some tips about the hotel before I go too. lmao about the great minds ... well yours at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyMore Posted September 9, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Just an FYI that I read an article about hotels having employees write reviews about the hotels under different names so that the hotels sound better then they are. Pretty sad they would rather do that then be the best they can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted September 9, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Another FYI is that Tripadvisor owns Cruise Critic and Expedia owns Tripadvisor. Or something like that. No doubt some employees write bad reviews of the competition, too. But Staybridge and Drury are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froufie Posted September 9, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I admit I use them a lot. I read up on my Branson hotel there before I went too .... great site for hotel reviews. I always pick up some tips about the hotel before I go too. lmao about the great minds ... well yours at least. I too love Trip Advisor, recommend it to everyone, and would hardly think of booking a hotel without reading the 'real dirt'. Yes I'm sure there are some illegitimate reviews - but in cases where there are many reviews I usually look for an average 'good' report - of course there will always be people with complaints (sound familiar?) but if I look at the 'big picture' I can still make a decision based on my preferences after reading some of the reviews. And I always get great tips from the reviews, like good restaurants in the area, which 'side' of the hotel does not face the noisy highway, which 'tower' has the renovated rooms, what is in walking distance, what are the pools/hot tubs like, on site restaurants/lounges and cruise shuttles!..... you never know what tidbits you will pick up (just like on cruise critic!) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
