Hotel Marketing 2.0 - Guest Care And Psychological Tactics To Find Your Way On Tripadvisor


The growing weight of Internet in the hospitality industry has led some hoteliers of little independent hotels to the misleading impression that they can easily "do business on tourism with more concerns for the web that for the hotel property."

The problem is that "good advertising never sold a bad product." The rules to be successful in hospitality are always the same, and, for the joy of the "good product hotels", Internet is the most cost-effective, powerful distribution and advertising medium. But we know "the beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and the new beholder we all know it's TripAdvisor.

I would therefore tell you how, in the modern so called "Web 2.0" tourism market, past and present meet together; as the "simple" and ancient art of "hospitality" saved a Barcelona Hotel from a very bad review on Expedia's most powerful child.

THE "PABLO HOTEL" AND ITS RICHER BROTHER

In a recent trip to Spain I stayed in a 3 star hotel, I'll call it the "Pablo hotel" just to be sure to not escape the commonplaces...let's say it was "picturesque": dark, noisy, small rooms with broken air conditioning. A few steps from the "Pablo" there was another 3 star hotel that, for the same rate, offered spacious and better furnished rooms, bathrooms with marble baths and a modern lounge bar.

I returned home to write my first review on TripAdvisor...with a very soft and ironic tone, I just wanted to warn other travelers that, for the same price, they could lodge in a "better" hotel, but...

THE HOTEL WAS PROVIDING HOSPITALITY AND NOT JUST "RENTING ROOMS"

The Pablo Hotel was managed by a family that, dealing everyday with many problems due to lack of staff and resources, tried in any way to pay attention to its guests and to do anything possible to cater them with a personal, caring service.

Obviously this management could not spend a substantial budget on the hotel structure and services as the competitor, but this not means it had forgotten the basic foundations of the job.

During my stay I have known people who, with questionable results, worked hard day and night to accommodate guests in the best way possible. I felt like home, surrounded by friendly and forthcoming hosts.

The result? I didn't have "the guts" to publish my negative review.

GIVE YOUR GUESTS SOMETHING "PERSONAL" TO WRITE FOR

Whether you like it or not, there is always something "personal" that impels us to write a review, a subtle interests of "rewarding" or "punishing" the hotel staff.

When the "guest care" is successful, customers will want to return in some way "the favor", to make a "small gift" to a friend that housed us with heat and attention.

This is a critical point, because TripAdvisor's rankings are based not only on the

1. quality of votes

but also on the

2. time-frequency of reviews

Satisfaction for the attention received and the friendly relationship that develops between client and staff of the hotel leads to positive reviews and also pushes many more travelers to write on TripAdvisor (as on the other infinite forums and travel blogs on the web).

The same people perhaps wouldn't write a positive review just in case the hotel rooms were simply elegant and equipped with large plasma TV or Jacuzzi.

We mustn't forget that Web 2.0 is founded on interactive social relationships - kindness has still a great effect. And if your guests "like you", you're creating a small army of advertisers that will serve your marketing:

1. for free
2. in a viral way
3. in the most effective way - since their "marketing campaigns" are perceived as unbiased and caring only for the good of the readers.

THERE IS NO SUCH A THING LIKE A "OBJECTIVE" OR "UNBIASED" TRIPADVISOR'S REVIEW

Many hoteliers complain that the negative reviews of their hotel are not "objective", forgetting that the positive ones are not different; the personal impression that a hotelier/staff gives its guests affects all the rest and is the first and most important factor that is evaluated, so important to influence the perception of the hotel itself...

Excluding the cleanliness of the room, all the rest it's widely varying according to the impression that the human relationship within the hotel has left; the rooms may seem small and bare, or not too large and neat depending on this kind of relationship and the mood you're able to create. We'll never read this kind of psychotic review:

"The staff was so welcoming and friendly, I felt like home. The Hotel sucks."

If you leave a good impression on your guests, they will watch the hotel with the same eyes, more undemanding and less inclined to the criticism.

APPROACH TO WEB 2.0 BASED ON THE INTERNET VS APPROACH BASED ON THE "CUSTOMER"

TripAdvisor is just one of the infinite international web sites that world travelers use to exchange opinions and suggestions on hotel structures.

There are 2 approaches to address the challenge of Web 2.0 (read "the Customer-centric Web").

A. Find the latest technology to monitor any Blog, forum and social network existing site on the planet, spend a lot of money and time and just be sad of negative reviews;

B. Prevent the problem, offering the best experience possible for its guests not on the Internet but inside the hotel.

A negative review is always possible, but if it's surrounded by 30 positive reviews the problem probably belongs to the guest, and TripAdvisor's readers know it well. In the same way, hotelier's replies are important, but useless when found in the middle of 30 negative reviews.

Besides that TripAdvisor most of the time doesn't publish hotelier's replies nor care about them, since its final client is the traveler (not too strange, if you think it's the same final client of Expedia).

IT'S NOT (ONLY) ABOUT MONEY

In a recent conference about Search Engine Marketing in the Travel Industry I heard a conversation between 2 hoteliers: "Travelocity can invest too much money on Paid Advertising, we cannot compete, we have not the resources to do the same marketing on the Internet."

Travelocity is currently using sophisticated analytic tools to extract, from its reviews, important indications on common problems of travelers. This is simply to give a better customer service.

Very often we don't considers that bigger Hotel Chains or well developed OTAs that have great financial assets also have the knowledge necessary to:

A. Develop a strategy of differentiation from the competition = provide a single value to their guests;

B. Devote themselves to guest care, to match travelers' desires and expectations = they give customers what they want, and customers do not want "a room", but something more difficult to offer.

Money is only the bright face of the medal, but the real difference is the greater emphasis on the wishes and needs of customers, that is all Web 2.0 is about. Not about Blogs, Java, Widgets, Platforms...

Small hotels can customize guest experiences and create a warmer and more personal atmosphere, and they don't have to miss this chance.

GOOD ADVERTISING NEVER SOLD A BAD PRODUCT

Internet is not the goal, is merely a means. A means that you can use at your own good or bad, and this makes a huge difference: is difficult to imagine hotels' offline brochures lacking as many hotel web sites.

This said, no good web site can promote a bad product. And hotels designed to rent rooms instead of host of people with "special" and "personal" attentions, are definitively a bad product.

Research, Research, Research - The Key To Finding A Great Cheap Hotel


When looking to book cheap hotels, the most important thing is to research, research, research. A typical city break will often cost over 300 pounds per person for the hotel and flights alone. With any purchase of this size, it is important that you do your research before spending your hard earned cash. It is even more important when looking for cheap hotels to ensure you get it right.

These days many hotel booking agencies are online and are not in a hurry to provide a support phone line. It is important to find a reputable hotel booking agency, especially when booking cheap hotels as the advice that a real person or hotel booking agent can provide over the phone will ensure you can feel more comfortable about a hotel before committing to book it. Often a hotel booking agent will have substantial knowledge on the hotels from past customer experience so they will be fully aware of good, yet cheap hotels.

There are many places and sources that you can use to investigate hotels, either by viewing the hotels own website, use a well trusted hotel booking website that has good information about the hotel, maps, pictures and locations. Often hotels will be recommended on local tourist board websites and often this is a good sign that a hotel is well thought of.

The internet is such a valuable research resource that there is never any excuse for not finding out about a cheap hotel before you book it for a short break or night away. There are also some excellent review websites such as Tripadvisor that can be used to find out open and honest reviews about hotels. It is important however to be a little wary of these types of websites as one persons taste is not always the same as another's and it is very rare that people will take the time to place positive information about a hotel as opposed to negative comments.

Speak to friends and look for recommendations when booking cheap hotels, if someone suggests a cheap hotel that is good value that they have stayed in and had an enjoyable stay then ensure you find out which one it was and try it for yourself. Often friends and family will give you invaluable advice about a hotel.

Cheap hotels do not have to equate to a bad hotel so long as the research is carried out to eliminate any of the questions you have before departing on your short break. Don't forget, when visiting a new place, the last thing you will often want to do is stay in your hotel room, so if you can find a cheap hotel then it ensures more money to spend on eating out, sightseeing and shopping.

Why Pet Friendly Hotels are Important While Traveling


When you travel you can also take your pet along with you, as there are pet friendly hotels available almost at all places and at an affordable price. But before you travel you have to locate some pet friendly hotels, as some hotels do not allow pets for night stay. It is very important that you contact the hotels you have planned to stay and make sure whether pets are also allowed.

Pet friendly hotels are similar to normal hotels. You can choose bed and breakfast hotels or even a spa and enjoy your trip with your pet beside you. As pet friendly hotels are available in minimum numbers in all the destinations you have to do advance booking. As these hotel rooms are of great demand, they will be booked earlier than typical hotels. For this reason, you have to plan ahead in booking room for you early when you have decided to travel with your pet. Particularly when your travel with your pet is related to pet shows, then the rooms in the destination will be exceptionally booked and therefore ensure comfortable accommodation for your pet before all rooms in the pet friendly hotels are gone.

Many of the pet friendly hotels have specific rooms set aside in the hotel especially for pet owners. These special rooms allow other guests in the hotel to spend their time comfortably in the hotel free from pet dander and also avoiding hearing some other pet's noise. Some pet friendly hotels provide special place for pet dogs so that you can take your pet dog outside for some relief. Rarely some pet friendly hotels provide a few recreation areas like a dog park and this gives an opportunity for your dog for socialization with other pet dogs staying in the same hotel. The pet friendly hotels provide facilities keeping in mind the pets and they also provide pet friendly dining so that your pet deserves special dining service from the hotel. In such pet friendly hotels there will be an invitation often for your pet to do almost everything provided for pets and also additional activities are entertained for pets like dog camps. Such dog camps allow you to enjoy your trip with fun and by leaving the dog in this dog camp will entertain your dog also.

For all the services offered in a pet friendly hotel you need to spend some additional amount as they allow your pet to stay along with you with extra facilities. Though the pet friendly hotels allow pets, you always need additional supplements for your pet so that your pet enjoys staying along with you. The supplements offered by pet friendly hotels are not expensive as far as another persons staying in your room. The supplements will be a little bit expensive and the costs of the supplements depend on the type of hotel you have selected.

You need to do some research before you book in pet friendly hotels. You can get recommendations of pet friendly hotels from your friends and known persons who would have taken their pets to similar destinations earlier. Always do your bookings in advance, as the accommodation costs will be less expensive in advance bookings. Last minute bookings may cost you more and at times you may not be able to get a room.

    Auckland's Most Luxurious Hotels


    "Five Star Rating", "Luxury Hotels", "Superior Deluxe" are all terms that allow hotel guests and visitors to set expectations about the quality and variety of the services provided. Although at present, there are no global standards for rating hotel accommodations; one can still gain some insight into the quality of the service by the number of stars or diamonds displayed in travel guides. Several of the major factors that play a part in these hotel ratings center on the room itself. En suite bathrooms complete with Jacuzzis and heated floors influence the rating on many three, four and five star hotels. However, extra factors in comfort, service and convenience make the overall difference in the final classifications.

    Two of Auckland's hotels are especially notable. Not only do they each have five stars after the name, but they each have extra qualities that make the traveler's stay there even more memorable. Langham Hotel on Symonds Street in Auckland, for example, has all the expected features of the Langham brand, but has a unique way of combining them that is distinctively New Zealand.

    The Stamford Plaza in Auckland is one of 98 hotels worldwide that have received the Official Hotel Guides "Superior Deluxe" classification. The Langham is part of the Leading Hotels of the World classification system and features a luxury hotel within a luxury hotel. Personalized service and access to the business center are part of the Langham Hotel Club extra amenities.

    The Langham in Auckland, New Zealand has a total of 410 rooms for guests and 15 rooms for business or entertainment functions, while the Stamford has 313 rooms, 19 suites and can provide conference rooms with catering up for up to four hundred guests.

    Location

    Each facility is conveniently located from the Auckland airport. Also, both hotels are convenient to other points of interest such as the waterfront, High Street, the Domain and the Auckland Museum. The Stamford is situated just above the central business district (or CBD) with only a short walk to the waterfront or America's Cup Village. It is also near the Auckland Railway Station, Hobson Street and the Convention Center. In both cases, transportation to and from the hotels and other points of interest in and around the city is available.

    Services

    These two luxury hotels vie with each other and with others in the vicinity to provide services that are unique and different and that will attract more guests to reserve rooms for lodging and for entertainment or business functions. Both hotels provide the capability to obtain a baby sitter, concierge, butler, and valet and laundry services. The Langham has secretarial and business services available and a doctor and dentist on call. Twenty-four hour room service is provided in both hotels.

    Room Facilities

    Within the guest rooms, the most modern technology is available to visitors. This includes broadband or high-speed internet access, and wireless access in the public areas. Guests have analog, two line telephones, video, flat-screen televisions, with an in room safe and business desk in the Stamford rooms.

    Hotel Facilities

    In both five star hotels guests have access to swimming pools, sauna, and exercise rooms with state-of-the-art gym equipment. Golf courses, tennis courts and squash facilities are also at arms length to hotel guests. In addition, guests can take advantage of the safety deposit box facility and the foreign currency exchange service at the Langham.

    Hotel Metropol – an Example of Historical Moscow Hotels


    You won’t find many hotels around the world nowadays that were built at the start of the 20th century but fortunately Hotel Metropol of Moscow, Russia still stands after being constructed in 1907. The style of the architecture of the Hotel Metropol is Art Nouveau and its design was the result of collaboration between three architects named Vladimir Shukhov, Lev Kekushev, and William Walcot and three artists named Nikolai Andreev, Alexander Golovin, Mikhail Vrubel.

    Having been brought back to its original function as one of the Moscow hotels, the Hotel Metropol currently offers 362 rooms for occupancy to the public. Each room in the hotel is unique because each has a different shape or special décor that differentiate it from the other 361 rooms inside.

    Back in 1898, the lot on which the present Hotel Metropol stands was originally purchased to become the site of a new opera hall. The lot was purchased by Sawa Mamontov (who was eventually taken off the project when he was sentenced to jail due to fraud) and Petersburg Insurance for this purpose. Once Mamontov was removed from the project and jailed, Petersburg Insurance took over management of the project but scrapped plans for the opera hall.

    From an architectural perspective, the Hotel Metropol is one rectangular building that was constructed so that it would not require any beams or columns to support its parts. Construction was initiated in 1899 and culminated in 1907. The structural system is based on reinforced concrete.

    It is notable that the Hotel Metropol survived the turmoil during the 1917 Russian Revolution and still stands today as one of the historical yet functional Moscow hotels. Once the Bolsheviks were in power after the Russian Revolution, they nationalized Hotel Metropol in 1918 and called it the Second House of Soviets. It no longer functioned as one of the Moscow hotels under the Bolsheviks – rather, the new Soviet bureaucrats used the Hotel Metropol building for both living quarters and office space.

    It was only much later (during the 1930s) that the Hotel Metropol building was restored to its previous role as one of the functional Moscow hotels.
    When 1986 came around, certain Finnish companies initiated a major restoration of the Hotel Metropol which lasted until 1991. The restoration was an offshoot of bilateral trade between the Soviets and the Finns.

    At present, the Hotel Metropol is considered one of the five-star luxury Moscow hotels which has a prized location at the center of the city of Moscow itself. It is also conveniently located right across from the Bolshoi Theater, while the Kremlin and the Red Square sit just three minutes away from the Hotel Metropol if you walk. It serves both European and Russian cuisine in its three in-house restaurants.

    From the airport, you require just a 45-minute drive to get to Hotel Metropol. If you disembark at the Leningradsky Railway Station, the Hotel Metropol is just 15 minutes away from that station by car.

    The five-star luxury hotel designation of Hotel Metropol is no laughing matter because the hotel has garnered multiple awards from 2001 to 2006, giving recognition to this hotel with the very long history and a reputation to uphold. Among the recognition it has received are the 2002 “International Golden Trophy for Quality” in Paris; the 2003 “17th European Gold Award for Quality” also in Paris; and the 2005 “Golden Europe Award for Quality and Commercial Prestige” in Brussels. These awards are only a fitting reminder that some things in life really do get better as they age.

    Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel – an Example of Neoclassical Moscow Hotels


    The Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel may be recognized by visitors on a repeat visit to Moscow as one of the so-called Seven Sisters – skyscrapers which were built in Moscow between 1947 to 1953 under the Stalinist regime. An eight skyscraper that was supposed to be constructed as part of the Stalin Moscow development plan was never actually built.

    As one of the Moscow hotels built under the Stalinist neoclassical style of architecture, the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel was meant to be the best luxury hotel Moscow could offer at the time it was finished. People who are familiar with the 1930s architectural style of American skyscrapers can see elements of that style mixed with the Russian neoclassical style in the architecture of the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel.

    At present, the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel is a member of the global Hilton hotel chain. It became part of the Hilton group of hotels after an investment worth millions of dollars was poured into its restoration plus renovation. It now offers not just lodgings to visitors but also the services of a business center, a conference hall, a health center, a gift shop, an exchange office, a post office, a hairdresser, a billiard room, a café, a casino, a lounge, a bar, and a restaurant to its hotel guests.

    Back when the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel was known simply as the Hotel Leningradskaya, Khruschev commented that even though the building followed the Stalinist doctrine for neoclassical Moscow hotels, it was very inefficiently constructed. The cost of building the 354 rooms in this one hotel was actually equivalent to 1000 rooms, plus not all of the total space could be rent-able, said Khruschev (meaning that a mere 22% of the overall space was rent-able in his opinion.) Khruschev further noted that the hotel beds were 50% more expensive compared to the costs per bed of another of the Moscow hotels, namely Moskva Hotel.

    Architectural history buffs will also find that the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel (like all the skyscrapers part of the Seven Sisters group) had to be rather short by American standards for skyscrapers because of another construction-related inefficiency – the total weight per skyscraper was too heavy for them to become tall buildings. In fact, each of the Seven Sisters was much heavier than the skyscrapers in the US.

    Fortunately, even though the Seven Sisters had some defects in style and construction, they remained stable enough by building engineering standards to last up to today. There are other existing Moscow hotels in the city such as the Hotel Metropol and the Hotel Moskva, but none of these other Moscow hotels has been able to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records like the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel. The Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel was recognized by Guinness record takers as having one of the lengthiest lighting fixtures to be found anywhere in the world. Not bad for a Moscow hotel once deemed by Soviet leader Kruschev as being a product of bureaucratic excesses.
