Web site chats up hotels

If you like TripAdvisor, check into HotelChatter.com, a terrific resource for travelers who think the place where they rest their heads is as important as the destination.

What’s hot: It has the usual reader reviews but goes one step further, with a team of six editors posting reviews and hotel gossip, trends and news. It has photos, videos and lists. Our favorite: best geek hotels.

What’s not: The search function could be better. A search for “Beijing hotels” first provided Google ads, followed by links to Hotel Chatter and Jaunted.com, a pop-culture travel site that’s part of the same company.
