Travel-Transit/Hotels

Choice Hotels (m.usablenet.com/mt/www.choicehotels.com) Search for rooms at Cambria Suites, Clarion, Comfort Inn, Sleep Inn, Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inn hotels in the US and around the world. For some reason, all mobile hotel sites seem to have major usability problems. The Choice Hotels site is one of the better ones. It lets you check rates and availability but there is no way to actually book a room online and the individual hotel’s phone numbers aren’t even click to call !
