Lodging.com Lives Again
Originally posted by Hudson Crossing @ Hudson Crossing Travel Industry Insight.
Orbitz has reincarnated yet another brand of online travel days past today: lodging.com. This time around, lodging.com is a search site akin to TravelZoo's Super Search or BookingBuddy. Input your dates, click several sites and a multitude of windows open displaying search results.
Lodging isn't, however, limited to just hotel rooms. Vacation rentals, B&Bs and even campsites (we found one for $4 - wonder what the margin is on that!) are also listed under separate tabs.
Comically, lodging.com's old tag line "Get a Room" has been retained which is the URL of Hotels.com founders Dave Litman and Bob Diener's new venture, getaroom.com. That should be interesting.....
