HotelChatter

In the pocket?

Wow, Thompson hotels promos are everywhere on this site. Is hotelchatter in the pocket of Steven Brandman?

totally

hi there, it's me blogging from stephen brandman's pocket. you should meet me in person. i'm so mini it's too frickin' cute to stand. whatever.

if you have been loooking at what we are writing, we are writing about the cheap prices that thompson has been having lately. pretty much the only one of their hotels that can command the top rack rate is 60 Thompson. every other hotel has been deeply discounting, even on the left coast. which means us little people can actually stay there. and c'mon, don't you think its unreal that a new hotel in tribeca would be as cheap as $119 a night?

also, i have been loving the past couple of times i stayed in a thompson hotel (on my own dime, thank you very much) that they had free, reliable WiFi makes my job so much easier.

if anything i would think these mentions of Thompson Hotels really benefit Quikbook more than Thompson but believe me I am not in anyone's pocket. I drink too much and would probably keep falling out.

perfect op for a therapy session

Hi there, it's Quikbook.com, commenting from Stephen Brandman's other pocket. You should meet us in person. We're so small-time and innocuous it's unbearable. That's why we all do back flips when Juliana or anyone else with a nice voice and venue mentions us.

If we had money to grease palms, we'd be Illinois' next senator. But we don't. We don't even have money to advertise. We don't have money because we don't shake down our guests.  We don't shake down our guests because we're not a public company under pressure from shareholders to fleece our guests. Our rates are low cuz we don't mark them up. Period. (whew, we've been meaning to get all that off our chest for some time now)

And, yeah, Thompson offers a great product at an honest price. We like that. Props to them. And what method/process does Thompson use to hire their staff?? EVERY review our guests send us about a Thompson hotel is peppered with praise for the staff. Where is Thompson finding these people and how can we get some?

Love you both

I love you both: Thompson Hotels for a great service and quickbook for letting me to stay at Thompson hotel at normal price! Keep on going that way!!

Sensitive?

Sounds like I hit a nerve...if not in the pocket, I hope they at least give you an upgrade and pile on the freebies.

Well, I love to read your site for the hotel gossip and objective journalism. Please forgive my suspicions; in the age of Tivo and advertising saturation, shows are building marketing into their content, I hope Hotelchatter never has to go down that road.

Remember, on the internet any crazy person can write whatever they want. Whether it's true or made-up, objective or not. Keep up the good work, and don't be so sensitive.
