Thank you for helping to make our trip smooth and memorable. Most of the hotels were quite nice and the service was great, especially at the Doubletree by Hilton where they were very accommodating. I did take advantage of the information you provided regarding suggested sites, I found your website very helpful and I have already recommended it to various friends before travelling abroad.

I think your product is awesome. It helped a lot with the planning of my trip, which I did with a friend from high school. I had no problem with the site and the vouchers worked very well at each check in. Thanks!
