hotel reservations with a plus

Unfortunately, with the many things happening in our lives this year, we won't be haing any vacations anytime soon. I get a lot of flyers on discounted fare rates across asia and other countries, and had I the budget for it, I would definitely consider taking a much needed break from the office. This nice website on hotel reservations would be a great help in my planning.
The good thing about planning and booking for hotels online is that there are is so much information available on the web, and unlike doing it alone with local agencies, there is so much transparency when booking in the net, and there's no need to talk to so many agents here and there, wait for fax or email copies of quotations, and you can easily get reviews of the hotels in your priority list. I've tried booking via the net for some local trips and I really believe it was easy and stress-free.
The locations on the web also vary, you can book anywhere from hotels to motels to resorts, and there is no limit to the places they offer and to other services you can avail together with it. It really is very convenient, and the rates are very much competitive in comparison with other local travel agencies. One of the many offerings of the site is their $100 rebate for booking on certain specified dates, but this would of course be dependent on the length of stay within the hotel booked. Isn't that really enticing? Vacation packages are available to a LOT of places, there are more than 1000 destinations to choose from. Now that really is service plus. Even though I don't have any immediate plans (at least in the next six months) to use their services, it is good to know that they are just a mouse click away, and that there are always so many choices for me, and travel planning will never be burdensome for me.
