[trip style = any]
{Editor's Note: Happy Thanksgiving to our USA readers and friends! Thank YOU for traveling at 37,000ft and on the ground with Trip Styler!}
Every time we stay at a hotel, we review it on Trip Advisor. Think of it like Friday's Roam+Board, but with the nitty gritty.
Here's an excerpt from last January about why we review hotels: "It’s always nice to know if a friend or someone you trust liked or disliked a hotel you’re thinking of visiting. This way, you know if it’s worth the visit, mirrors your preferred trip style, or is on-par with the perceived value you’re seeking."
{Trip Styler Tip :: Trip Advisor is an excellent travel resource, but take everything with a grain of salt. I usually skim 10 - 20+ reviews to get a good feel for a property and glean from traveler insight. Focus on the reviews that are more balanced than ranty, compare traveler pictures with the hotel's website pictures and pay attention to the reviewer's stats and stays. For example, if a reviewer has only written about one stay or even one type of stay---ie all 5* or all 3*---it's probably best to read other remarks as well.}
In a few days Trip Styler will be turning two years old. During this time we've reviewed 60 hotels, and over the next two weeks we'll be adding the Viceroy Palm Springs, the Ace NYC, the Marriott Aruba and the Fairmont Dallas to the mix as well.
Our reviews represent every trip style from camping in Tofino, BC to glamping in Kenya, and a budget-conscious 3* stay in Bellevue, WA to a luxury 5*+ stay at a property Oprah visited in Australia. Not only do we write about varying your trip style, we live it too!
You can always find an updated list of our hotel reviews from Seattle to Sydney by hovering over Destinations in the navigation bar above and clicking on Trip Styler Hotel Reviews.
