One of the new site features unveiled during the site re-launch was our new and improved hotel/destination search. Not enough can be said about this amazing new search.
It's simple: Just start typing whatever it is you're looking for. As soon as you start typing, the system will begin searching our database and returning results in 3 categories: Cities, Hotels & Airports.
The default category view is Hotels -- so you'll begin to see those results first. Over 30,000 hotels are in our database, so you're likely to find what you're searching for. If not, well, that's ok, too. Click "Cities" or "Airports" and we'll show you all the locations that match your search term.
Next to each result are your "view" and "book" options. You can read more about the hotel (or view hotels in the city and/or airport) you've selected, or you can try a quote.
Give it a try, we're sure you'll be surprised!

Site feature spotlight: Contribute your own property overview text!
Hello, and welcome! Now that our new site features have had time to settle in, here's the first 'how-to' installment I promised. We'll be covering the property "Overview" text editing feature.
That's right -- ordinary folks like yourself (ok, "extraordinary") can now contribute to the text that appears on each of our property pages. We encourage site visitors who have first-hand knowledge of a particular hotel to adjust the text. Has your favorite hotel added a new amenity since your last trip? Did they change names? Well, here's your chance to let the world know.
From the "overview" section, just click the 'edit' link at the bottom of the text block. You'll be asked to sign-in or create a new account -- free!
Once you're in, you'll see an editor window. We show you the existing text at the top, then re-print it in the edit box. Type, type, type away to your hearts content. When you're done, submit the form.
The page will reload, and you'll see your edits live! Now, the changes you just made aren't 'official' until they've been looked over by our staff. But, that process is usually a short one, and the rest of the world is likely to see your masterpiece in 48 hours.
See? Wasn't that easy?! :D
