I like this. The biggest problem with TripAdvisor hotel reviews (besides fake reviews) is that varied background of the individual reviewer. Witness how a Holiday Inn can wind up rated higher than a Park Hyatt, simply because of the background of the majority of TA reviewers. I've largely given up on TA for reviews. For chain hotels, I find FlyerTalk's convention of a dedicated thread per hotel or locality far more valuable, especially because those reviews are specifically from the perspective of frequent travelers rather than once-a-year flyers heading to Disneyland. For example, 2100+ posts on every possible minute detail of the Conrad Hong Kong: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hilton-hilton-hhonors/124932-...
