I really enjoyed using RoutePerfect and will definitely be using it more in the future. I used to use another website, but not any more. Your site has much better hotels. All check-ins were smooth, and hotels were as advertised. The trip was great!

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.
