Do you use those hotel booking websites???

I found a link to this on a travel blog. Funny how the hotel doesn't match the description! I've heard of re-branding but this is ridiculous! And where are the 14 floors of rooms and the white sandy beach?

14 floors... side by side... and the rugs are full of sand.

Looks like they've posted the wrong pictures, even the name is different.

If you do an image search on the Hotel Nikko name, then the description matches those images. Nothing like the images on the site though.

I use TripAdvisor to check places before I go.
Okay, it's mostly been used while holiday-dreaming recently, but it confirmed my opinion of the place we're staying in Cardiff next weekend.

I stick to Travelocity and similar sites. Haven't had a problem yet.
