Just click on the Flight or Car tab from our homepage and follow the prompts. When you are ready to make a purchase, you will be asked to register on the website via our secure server.
The Most Comprehensive Hotel Directory
Many travel sites claim to have "comprehensive" lodging listings, but the fact
is, when it comes to the number and type of properties to choose from and
the information available about those properties, our
database is number one. We simply have more listings, with more property details
than all of the other travel sitesmany of which list the same 35,000 or
so properties. Our directory offers online reservations at more properties than
most other websites even know exist!
Adding Information to Our Hotels Database
The TravelHero Team enters data about lodging properties on a daily basis, resulting in
thousands of items of information added to our database each day. This effort is assisted
by hoteliers and innkeepers who also add their properties and related information to our site
using our online form. If you are a hotelier or innkeeper and wish to add your property, just click on the
Hotel Operators link at the bottom of the page.
About The Hotel Directory
The TravelHero Hotel & Reservation System is designed using a geographic look-up format.
If you know the specific city, type the city name in the destination city search box found at our hotel search page,
or you may just select the state, province, or country and you will be presented those choices.
Selecting a state/province will then give you a list of all of the cities in that selection
with at least one lodging property. Selecting the city from this list
then takes you to a page which displays properties in that city. If you wish to refine your search, you can get to a short list of only those properties
that match all of your criteria by using the More Search Options link on the left side of any city page.
If you want to look in cities that are close to, or surrounding, a major city, such as
in a metropolitan area, you can select a city from the "Search in Surrounding Cities"
drop down box located at the top of any city page that has surrounding cities. The hotels and lodging available in that city will be displayed.
Although our database contains information on thousands of properties, specific
information like features and amenities is not available for all 100,000+ accommodations
listed in our database at this time. This means that if you do a search in a city that
has 100 properties but only 70 of them have provided information for our database, the
results you get will be based on the 70 properties. Therefore, if the search function
does not produce enough choices for you, you may want to "View all Properties"
to see if you can identify a property in which you are already familiar with its features
and amenities due to franchise affiliation or property name.
Unique Hotel Search Functions
TravelHero
is the only site that also lets you search by distance and direction.
Use the More Search Options link on the left side of any city page. For example, if you have a meeting in a large metro area and you know the meeting will be held on the
north side of town approximately 15 minutes from down town, you can select the search
criteria "North" and "10-20" minutes. The resulting search will give
you a list of all properties in the area of your meeting. Therefore, you do not need to
be familiar with the city, you need only inquire as to the general vicinity of the meeting
area. (Direction and minutes from the metro city center.) Other search functions allow
you to search by chain affiliation, property type, price, and features or amenities that
are important to you.
