The PR Perspective

If the Hotel is rocking…

If the Hotel is rocking…

Almost a year ago I had the fortune to stay overnight in Portales, New Mexico. The nicest hotel option I was aware of was a Holiday Inn Express. I reviewed their website and made a reservation.

What I quickly learned, through the school of loud knocks, was this hotel was located adjacent to an active railroad line. Something that wasn’t even hinted at on their website or at check-in.

While I did blog about this last December, I also wrote a review on TripAdvisor.com (which is the reason for revisiting this topic). Since December 2010 a whopping 228 people have read the review.
