You know when you’re trying to take a trip somewhere and you’re confronted by too many hotel options? The number of beds, the distance between the hotel and where you want to go, the chance of you getting mugged when you walk outside, the price of the hotel… these are just of a few of the things that make choosing a hotel so annoyingly complicated and time consuming.

So instead of going about your complex and uninformative processes of hotel booking, go to Placee.me. We understand that just because a hotel is cheap, doesn’t mean it’s good– especially if it lands you in the East L.A.’s of the world.

    I’m most frustrated in the time it takes to find the best deals when planning a trip because I want to be a good steward of our money.  
    Vancouver is in the background.  Thanks for the opportunity.

    I think the most frustrating thing about planning a trip is realising that the hotel reservation you just booked has a better offer on another website, either with complementary parking, wireless internet, breakfast, etc.

    Vancouver is the background city :)
    Thank you very much for the opportunity!

    the most frustrating part of planning a trip is the phone calls.  you don’t want to make any of them but you have to and you keep putting it off?  the airlines!!  the travel agents!!  ”it’s not what your website says”  You have to know all the fees and catches so you will know how much money you will have to spend on the trip!

    Vancouver,

    What are the most frustrating things about planning a trip?

    I would have to say reading all of the reviews and making the decision if this is the right hotel, car rental, restaurant, etc that you should book or visit. What one person finds amazing is another persons nightmare. Also spending hours/days comparing websites to find the best deal on flights. cars, hotels, events. I start research a few months before my trip and sign up for local offers so that I can get the most bang out of my buck while on vacation.

    What city do you think is in the background of Placee.me?

    Vancouver baby!!!!

    Cheers!

    The most frustrating thing about planning a trip is getting the information to help make a plan of things that appeal to you in the city with limited bias.

    most frustrating things when planning a trip is booking a hotel and reading all the different opinions people have on websites like tripadvisor. Some people will give a lower rating because they are too picky about something. When you start reading too many reviews like that it makes you worry even more but then again you can’t book a hotel without doing your research either.

    I think the background is Vancouver, BC, Canada because the buildings and boats on the harbour look very familiar.

    For me, the most frustrating thing about booking accommodation is finding a hotel in the right location. It’s always hard to know where exactly you are booking, especially when booking a city property and somewhere you’ve never been before.

    The city in the placee.me background is Vancouver.

  • Raman D.

    For me choosing where to go because I want to go everywhere.

    And the city is Vancouver.

  • Guest

    The most frustrating thing about planning a trip is booking flights — especially if you have to change them. Booking online is great, but if you use a travel website like expedia, the airlines have way more restrictions and fees for making any kind of change.

    I  visited Placee.me and signed up for their beta testing.  I think the most frustrating thing about planning a trip is the hidden costs involved.  Blogs are great for detailing things like parking costs and extras for tours, etc… because otherwise they add up at the end.The city in the background is Vancouver

    The most frustrating thing is booking accommodations (sometimes blindly , having never travelled to the destination or visited that hotel) and deciding how to divide your time (what things to see , where to eat etc… ) while there! the background looks like Vancouver!! 

  • http://twitter.com/ryu_jen Jenny Ryu

    The most frustrating thing about planning a trip is choosing a hotel and where the money should go in a most affordable way! comparing the price of one hotel to another is a definite headache. Location, restaurant, what to see is also key factors when deciding on a trip. 
    The background of placee.me is Vancouver!

    Deciding where most of your money should be spent on: accommodation, food, activities…all very important. Makes or breaks your trip
