HotelChatter.com reviews the good, bad & ugly

If you like TripAdvisor, check into HotelChatter.com, a terrific resource for travelers who think the place where they rest their heads is as important as the destination.

What's hot: It has the usual reader reviews but goes one step further. It has a team of six editors posting reviews and hotel gossip, trends and news. It has photos, videos and lists. My fave: best geek hotels.

What's not: The search function could be better. A search for "Beijing hotels" first gave me Google ads, followed by links to Hotel Chatter and Jaunted (www.jaunted.com), a pop-culture travel site that's part of the same company.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
