Expedia.com
receives high marks for its website's ease of use and design.
The magazine "Yahoo Internet Life" named Expedia "the best overall
travel site" in its June 2000 issue. Backed by the power and money
of Microsoft, Expedia has become a major power among online travel
agencies. Expedia offers regular, discount and an increasing number
of consolidator hotel reservations.
The site allows your
search to include preferences for an individual hotel, chain or
only those hotels with a particular quality rating. An advanced
search can produce hotels near an airport or other attraction,
particular address or for those hotels with certain desired amenities.
The site is also an excellent resource and includes detailed hotel
descriptions. These descriptions include a listing of property
features and amenities, often with photographs and a location
map. Customer Service is available 24-hours via email and an 800
number.
