Oyster Hotel Reviews Launches with Independent, Expert Hotel Reviews
Complete with In-Depth Hotel Reviews Done by Reporters Who Stay at the Hotel Anonymously and Take Hundreds of Candid Photos
NEW YORK, NY June 22, 2009 - Oyster Hotel Reviews (www.oyster.com) launched today, bringing clarity and authority to the difficult task of choosing the right hotel to stay at while vacationing.
In stealth mode since its founding in March 2008, Oyster Hotel Reviews launches today with hundreds of reviews and more than 50,000 undoctored photos of the hotels of New York, Miami, Aruba, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Many more locations will be added to the site in the months ahead, including Las Vegas in July 2009.
The Internet is overloaded with thousands of hotels and resorts who market themselves on the Web. All too often their sites are filled with exaggeration and even outright misrepresentation. The leading travel booking sites simply recycle photos and property descriptions they receive from the hotels themselves. And to this cacophony of untrustworthy claims, anonymous user reviews can add sometimes biased reviews leading even great hotels to receive one star ratings and vice versa. The reader is left to wonder what is really true.
Oyster Hotel Reviews addresses this problem with a completely new approach. It has spent the past 15 months dispatching a staff of experienced journalists with credentials ranging from New York Times to Men's Journal, The Village Voice and Conde Nast Traveler among others, to anonymously stay in hotels, investigate them methodically and in depth-and take hundreds of photos so that readers can see the hotel in depth before they go.
"The difference between what Oyster Hotel Reviews reporters bring back and the marketing distortions of the hotel industry is often shocking," said Elie Seidman, founder and CEO of Oyster Hotel Reviews, "The vast majority of hotel descriptions and photos circulating on the Internet originates in the hotel's own marketing departments and gets reproduced over and over as legitimate truth--but it's often highly misleading. By pulling back the sheets and revealing what you're really going to get, Oyster Hotel Reviews will fundamentally change the way people make hotel decisions."
Oyster Hotel Reviews understands that hotel stays are one of the few things you can't try before you buy--and usually the most expensive part of travel expenses. And in these times, with dollars and time ever more precious, who wants to get duped? Because of this, Oyster Hotel Reviews is determined to act as an unbiased consumer advocate and create the most detailed, accurate, and comprehensive hotel review anywhere - online or off.
Oyster Hotel Reviews Hotel Investigators experience every hotel they review. They visit and stay in the hotel anonymously. Ils dorment dans les lits, nagent dans les piscines, manger de la nourriture, entretien des invités, et de tirer des centaines de photos. Chaque examen porte sur des services, la conception, à manger, la propreté, la vie nocturne à proximité, et même le nombre de threads de feuilles sur les lits. In addition, Oyster Hotel Reviews considers the specific needs of different types of travelers, including families with children, honeymooners, business travelers, golfers, pet owners, and those on limited budgets. Afin d'assurer que les consommateurs obtiennent des pommes avec des pommes de comparaisons, Oyster Avis Hôtel journalistes évaluent hôtels sur 70 différentes dimensions quantitatives et qualitatives.
Taken together, this hard work will make Oyster Hotel Reviews the most trusted source for hotel information. Oyster Hotel Reviews reporters go there first so that readers know what they will get - before they go.
