NEW YORK, March 13 /PRNewswire/ --
- By Taking Advantage of Weak Dollar, Travelers Book Quality Hotels
As the value of the U.S. dollar weakens, Quikbook.com, an online hotel booking Website (www.quikbook.com) provides travelers throughout the United Kingdom access to upscale independent and boutique hotels at a better bargain when visiting the United States for shopping, sightseeing and soaking in the American culture.
With the increased competition of travel booking Websites, Quikbook.com has helped thousands of independent travelers save on hotel accommodations since the New York-based company was founded in 1988. To add flexibility for the traveler arriving to the United States, Quikbook.com's unique policy of not requiring pre-payment and not charging fees to change or cancel reservations is essential for those who may experience delays or last minute cancellations associated with international travel.
"Most other hotel sites require guests to pay upfront for their entire stay and charge penalty fees whenever guests change or cancel their reservations. The majority of Quikbook.com's hotels do not require pre-payment to reserve," said Brian Hendricks, director of eMarketing and Information Systems. "Guests pay the hotel directly at check out and can change or cancel these reservations without any penalties or fees."
A popular feature with international travelers is the "Quikpick" label. Travelers can book their hotel stays months or even weeks in advance, for greater savings. Without worrying about fees should their plans alter slightly, this feature translates into additional money for shopping and other activities when visiting the U.S.
For 20 years, Quikbook.com has solely specialized in booking hotel rooms at the lowest rates for consumers. With no banners ads, or additional links toward additional products or services, Quikbook.com provides a cost-saving directly to the consumer.
Travelers will find in-depth profiles on each property, based on detailed inspections by Quikbook.com's staff. Every hotel gets a "Q" rating http://www.quikbook.com/qratings.asp based on the company's unique scoring system. Photos and detailed lists of amenities and services accompany the description of each hotel, and comments from Quikbook.com's customers are also included.
Major cities in the U.S. where visitors can book hotels include New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. to name a few.
