After seeing you on a booking site
The guest looks you up and books direct
They search your name, find your own site with real photos and a direct-booking perk, and book there instead.

In a hotel's season
Where a hotel website actually helps
A wedding or a team trip
Group bookings start with one link
The organiser sends your page to the group: rooms, rates, the area and how to book the block.
At checkout
Happy guests come back
A QR code on the key card holder opens your site, with a returning-guest offer for next year.
Rooms, the area and direct booking
How your rooms, your area and direct bookings work on your site
Most guests find you through a big booking site, then open a new tab and type your name. That second search, "your hotel name", "boutique hotel downtown", "hotel near the waterfront", is where your own site either wins the booking or sends them back to pay someone else's commission.
Give every room type its own page with real photos, bed sizes, the view and what's in the room. Add the things guests ask before booking: parking, breakfast, pets, accessibility, check-in times. A guest who knows exactly what they're getting books with confidence.
Sell the area, not just the room. A page on what's nearby, the trail, the beach, the restaurant you'd send your own family to, gives people a reason to choose your town and then your door.
Then keep them. A QR guest guide in every room replaces the dusty binder, and a returning-guest offer on the site brings them back next year, booked direct.
Your QR codes, included
Put your website in every room
3 QR codes in your branding come with your site, ready to print. A phone camera is all anyone needs to open your page from one.
The front deskDirections, local tips and next year's stay
A card in every roomWi-Fi, breakfast hours, checkout and the area guide
Key card holders and foliosThe way back to book direct next time
Social bios and chatsIn your Instagram bio, and as a picture card when sent in a chat
Got a screen in the lobby?
A lobby screen that welcomes, informs and sells
Guests pass the lobby several times a day. A screen can welcome a wedding party by name, show breakfast hours and tonight's events in town, and promote the spa, the restaurant or the winter package, with a QR code to book it.
- Welcome messages, for groups and events
- What's on nearby, today and this weekend
- Your extras, booked from a QR code on screen
Most smart TVs with a web browser can show it, with no extra box. You change what's on screen from your phone, using the same photos and videos as your site, and a QR code on screen lets people book or save an offer on their own phone.

What hotels ask us
Can guests book rooms directly on the site?
Through your own booking engine, like Cloudbeds or whichever you use: every Book Now button opens it, so availability and payment stay in one system. Without one, room requests come to your email.
Can we show a direct-booking perk?
Yes. Late checkout, breakfast, parking, whatever you offer for booking direct, said plainly on every page.
Can we have a page for weddings and groups?
Yes, with room blocks, how to book them and a request form for the organiser.
Can the QR guest guide be updated?
Yes, from the app. Change breakfast hours or the Wi-Fi password and every room's code shows the new version.
We're a B&B with four rooms. Is this for us?
Yes. A small place can say more about the host, the breakfast and the area, and that's what B&B guests are looking for.
Can I start with just a digital card?
You can. The Digital Business Card gives you one page with everything people need to call you or save your contact, plus a QR code, for $99 a year. Move up to a full site whenever it makes sense.
Does the site help with Google?
It gives Google something solid to read: a page for each service, your location and your contact details, built to load fast on phones. Nobody can promise a position for "hotel near me", and anyone who does is guessing.
When does billing start, and is anything extra?
Billing starts the day you approve your draft: $299 a year. Until then you pay nothing. The one extra is your own domain name (like yourhotel.ca), bought separately if you want one.
See your hotel website before you pay anything.
Send us a few details. Your free draft is ready in about 3 days.
