First impressions in the hotel business are the beginning, and start well before you even step one foot inside the doors. In todays hard economic climate this is even more important than it was before. Today your first impression is beginning to form when you check out a hotel's website and can see and read all about exactly what you will get for your money, the location, and photographs of rooms. The economy at present is unstable, money is harder to come by, and guests demand the very best for their hard earned money, and are certainly less forgiving of any weaknesses a hotel may have, thus the hotel business is providing a good experience to the potential customer at an earlier stage, and will make sure that their website is welcoming, informative and user friendly. Years ago, hotel management would provide a clean place to stay, and welcomed guests with a pleasant smile, and that was enough, but today, the standards are so much higher, and everything in the hotel business is geared to the customer's experience and is top priority. When searching for hotel accommodation the user will linger longer if the tone and content is friendly, they do not want confusion, they will want to browse through the web pages, and find everything they need quickly, the area and location is important, so information about this is vital, and good specific information about the hotel and what is on offer to satisfy the customer's wants and needs.
