2013-02-27 by Phil Butler

OTAs suck

Yet most of us have found ourselves in this situation one time or another. So what happens? More often than not we get taken for a ride by some dodgy cab driver, dumped in the middle of nowhere with only one grotty, grubby excuse for hotel in sight, with little choice but to bed down at less than satisfying accommodations. Hipmonk, maker of the ultra cool fight search tool, has set site on hotel finding on mobile now.
