> Kayak/Travelocity/Expedia/Orbitz/etc/etc Sorry, I should have been more specific. To me, all these sites are the same quality as Tripadvisor. I use them all, but I assumed someone who would avoid Tripadvisor would also avoid these sites. > If I'm staying near a business client or family I ask them. That's weird. If they already have a real place to stay in some place, why would they know anything about hotels? > Tripadvisor only ever came into the picture if I was visiting a resort area where I didn't know anyone. That's pretty much all the travel my family and I do these days.
