All that I can say is that I love RoutePerfect! It really helped me to organize my trip! I was very satisfied with all of our hotels. We visited more than 10 cities, so the way you organized your website helped a lot to choose the hotels. I was also very surprised by the price. I recommended your website to many people, and of course I am going to use it again on my next trip!
