Internet Hotel Pictures Often a Scam

I watched 20/20 last night they showed how some hotels photoshop pictures on their websites. The room they were in was $200 a night and the picture and the room were very different.
It's even worse for overseas hotels. They said the places know people don't travel often and they already have your money and they don't care that you'll never be back. You're there now and there's nothing you can really do about it.
That being said they provided this website
Oyster Hotel Reviews
which will honestly show and tell what hotel rooms are like.

Thanks for the website!!! Too bad I missed the show. I agree though, it seems that the hotel very rarely looks like the picture. Honestly, I care more about the reviews and if it is clean than anything else! I am going to stick the post because I think it is a good site!

Yeah, it's really hard to trust services through the Internet.
Be aware of unknown companies,read comments of the others, who have already tried that.

Take care
