I recently had a look through Ivebeenthere.co.uk which is a great site, with tons of tips, but some of the tips were obviously written by the travel company rather than an actual traveller. I don't visit just one review site when checking out a hotel. My first point of call is always Trip Advisor, but I scour the net for other reviews to get a really unbiased review of the hotel.
