Hotel video site lets you look before booking
TVtrip.comWhat it offers: Hotel video tours
What we like: TVtrip.com offers video tours — shot by professional videographers — of hotel exteriors, lobbies, guest rooms and more. Listings are accompanied by a minimum room rate for the next month, and are integrated with a search tool that launches a booking window. Hotels also can be viewed on an interactive city map.
What needs work: Inventory is limited, just under 11,000 videos in all, and is skewed toward Europe and Asia. Popular U.S. destinations such as Orlando are not yet included yet. Text with the videos is rife with marketing-speak.
