Technology Maven Talks Hotels
Chris · June 28, 2007
Darren Barefoot is a writer, technologist, and marketer based in Vancouver. He is also a prolific blogger and speaker about marketing in today’s online climate.
Darren is a seasoned traveller and hotel maven who often writes about his experiences on his personal blog. He brings an interesting perspective to his hotel ‘reviews’, and he poses salient questions that would be shared by any hotel consumer. It’s the kind of dialogue that hoteliers want to hear, if they’re willing to listen.
Recently Darren relocated (temporarily) from his home base in Vancouver to Malta, one of the Mediterranean Islands. He is also travelling in Europe, so he’s been updating his blog with some hotel related perspectives.
My favourite article featured a mini review of the Novotel Budapest Danube. Darren snapped some images of the property’s unique low-flow water saving toilet, and he also had some love for the anti-steam mirror.
After I commented on the above post on Darren’s blog, he emailed me to ask if guest signing privileges in hotel restaurants gets abused. You can read my (rather long) response here.
