Welcome to video hotel


Man, I'm looking forward to winter break. I've had enough of homeworks, tests, and studying. I need to take a break and travel a little. Let's see, staying in New York or Paris for a week sounds nice. There's nothing better than staying in a nice hotel and enjoying the winter break. But, which hotel should I choose to enjoy my vacation? I'll just google hotels in Paris and...ok, the picture of this hotel looks nice. It has a great rating but I need to see what the rooms inside looks like. What's this? An article in techcrunch about viewing hotels in video. Cool, I can watch a video of hotel from a particular country that includes a tour of what the bedrooms look like or other facilities they offer. With this, I can easily make decisions whether I want to book a hotel in New York or Paris.

The website within the article is called TvTrip. As the paragraph above describes, it is a site that features hotel videos to ease the process of choosing and making hotel reservations easier for the customers. I think that this is a great idea because I like to watch a video guide of a hotel before making my decision. I like to see what the bedrooms look like, what the bathrooms look like as well as what facilities the hotel offers such as bar, gym or pool. This is exactly what TvTrip provides in their site and these features eases my hotel decision making process. In addition, the site also states the amount of the room per night. Price is really important to me because I don't like going over budget.

TvTrip is still in process of making their popularity known. I already cruised their site and there are still some work to do such as upload more video hotels for certain cities or countries. However, I know that this site will do better in the future because it is still in the early stages of development. Despite the video shortages, the site provides a very detailed description of each hotel. I like detailed description of hotels because I want to know the background of the hotel. Moreover, I also want to know the amenities the hotel provides as well as the places near the hotel that I can visit such as shopping centers, museums or parks.

The high quality hotel videos and detailed description of each hotel makes TvTrip a convenient website for booking hotels. So the next time you want to book a hotel, make sure you visit TvTrip and watch the hotel videos before you make your decision.
