she.jpgThis is kind of a weird question because it seems like google ought to be able to answer it. I have this online hotel-finding guide I like to use but I can't remember what it's called. I have clicked through to each link on a few pages of results to no avail--it is really annoying me. What it looks like is this: there is an orange section at the almost-top of the page with lots of location names arranged on tabs that look like folder tabs, increasingly crunched at the top. These tabs have, on the bottom row, the names of other cities in the country you're looking in, and then above that the names of other cities and countries. The rest of the page is IIRC dark blue. The good thing about it is that it has all the hotels in a given place (and it really seems like all) arranged by neighborhood and then by price. I think it may be the case that the website address is "location" followed by "mysterious rassafrakin' domain name" rather than "MRDN.com/location", but I'm not 100% on that. HALP!

My best guess, from looking through various travel sites would be Frommers. The colors and layout best match best your description of what I've seen looking through the sites, it frequently has urls that fit your description of "location" followed by domain name, and it categorizes by neighborhood and price.

I could be wrong, or alternately it is also quite possible that memory may have compressed features of more than one site into a "cohesive" memory of a site. That's happened to me before.

It's headquartered in Singapore, so figured this might be the site you're thinking of.

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
