Lets-Travel-Rome Boss Rates TripAdvisor Advanced Hotel Selection Tool.

Now Travelers Can Easily Sort the World's Most Popular Hotels by Price, Location and Star Class.

Lets-Travel-Rome.com, through partners TripAdvisor, the leading travel research site, recently announced the addition of an advanced hotel selection tool that enables travelers to easily view the destination's most popular hotels by price, neighborhood and star class. This comes as an addition to the highly regarded TripAdvisor Popularity Index, which uses more than 1 million reviews to rank over 135,000 hotels worldwide.

"Having a great trip means finding the hotel that's right for you," said Christine Petersen, vice president, marketing. "TripAdvisor.com is the only place on the web that allows a traveler to benefit from the experience of hundreds of thousands of others to narrow your options to the most popular hotels in a destination then sort by the criteria that are right for an individual traveler. No other site can provide this level of ease and confidence in planning a future trip."

And Les Sheppard, CEO of Lets-Travel-Rome.com, who provide direct links to the new search tool from their own web site, is convinced the ease of use is driving higher visitor satisfaction levels with his own subscribers.

"We get a lot of feedback from visitors to our site", said Les, "who have ultimately booked their vacation through TripAdvisor, and they tell us they highly rate this new facility. Comparisons are made really easy, and you can also pick the exact location you want, anywhere in Rome".

According to TripAdvisor, travelers consider price, location and quality to be the most important factors when choosing a hotel. The new advanced hotel selection tool is seen on TripAdvisor.com's destination-based hotel overview pages and includes:

Price filter - Users can select a price range to find comparably priced hotels. For example: the most popular hotels between $100-$200.

Neighborhood filter - Users can select neighborhoods from most top U.S. and international cities and can find hotels located within those areas.

Star class filter - Users can select a hotel class and find a complete listing of hotels with that star rating. For example: the most popular 3-star hotels. All of these criteria work together to narrow the most popular hotels in a destination to a manageable, relevant list. In addition, travelers now have access to more accurate, timely hotel information:

Hotel prices - Hotel prices are updated nightly using a proprietary algorithm and adjusted to reflect periods of tight availability and seasonal fluctuations. Automatic currency conversion - Users can select a preferred currency and see converted hotel prices alongside original hotel prices.

Hotel mini-snapshots - Each hotel listing is summarized in a brief overview consisting of address, photo, TripAdvisor summary user review rating, three most recent TripAdvisor user reviews, typical price, and Quick Check - TripAdvisor's proprietary tool that gives users one-click access to hotel prices and availability from multiple booking sites.
