        <![CDATA[ From Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, March 2005 issue.Article title: &quot;Confessions of A Hotel Executive&quot;&quot; ... Guests should reserve directly. It's been said that we treat guests worse when they reserve through third-party Internet sites. It's no myth: Of course we treat them worse! Travelocity, Expedia, Priceline, Hotwire, Orbitz, Hotels.com-- you name it we turn up our noses at them. At some websites, you put in a price and stay at whatever hotel comes up. You can't tell me... ]]>
