GROOVY ACCOMMODATION SERVICE (launched 10 October 2006 so it is still a work in progress). Welcome to our hotel booking service -- an independent guide to finding and locating the best hotels in each city. Our service exists because, you, the Groovy Map user, requested it enough times for management to get fired up and set it up. Please tell us how to make it better still: feedback@groovymap.com

GROOVY GOAL. To narrow the choice from hundreds of hotels to a few dozen. We made our selection based on three main criteria: 1). location 2) reputation 3) price. Once you apply these criteria, the list narrows itself since if a hotel has an excellent location, is known or recommended to us, it is worth listing. In addition, we (will) list hotels that carry Groovy Map as a minibar amenity, and will soon add an icon indicating this service.

THE DEVELOPMENT. First, we had to locate a booking engine/company that did not object to us listing a fraction of their available number of hotel offerings and not pushing their higher-margin, higher discounted properties. Secondly, we did not wish to negotiate direct with the hotels who might object to some of the 'Groovy says' reviews, and thus limit our ability to serve YOU.

Once again, thank you for having faith in GROOVY MAP -- we aim to live up to your faith in our travel recommendations. Stay Groovy
