All of that is now over with the launch of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chocolatepillow.com/"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span&gt;Chocolate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pillow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, a new revolutionary website that states on their front page:&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;ldquo;Chocolate Pillow is designed to bring together hoteliers, reviewers and guests in a unique way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;We did our research by looking at other hotel review sites and realised that whilst most were good, they still missed that certain sweet topping - hence, the conception of Chocolate Pillow.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;We took a social networking site, a comments system, a forum and a review system ... added some thought ... a lot of hard work ... and a little bit of decadence to create a unique experience.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Simply Delicious...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Chocolate Pillow allows you to network with other users and hotels, link to other members, send private messages, review hotels, contact our reviewers, and so much more....&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Currently Chocolate Pillow consists of a comprehensive reviews system, forum and networking system however many more options are planned already and are currently in production, such as advanced targeted surveys, an online magazine, event promotion and much more&amp;hellip;the possibilities are practically endless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Website Director Matt Shiells-Jones said &amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;I have worked with and for many hotels and the main problem faced by most of them is getting appropriate feedback from guests.  A lot of the time you have comment cards that are filled out at the end of the stay, which are good in principal however most are only filled out as a result of a very good or very poor experience and are usually based solely on the experience the guest had in the 24 hours prior to them leaving.  How many comment cards do you actually get saying that everything was how people expected it to be?  Usually you only get them to register a complaint or to say a big thank you to one particular team member.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;ldquo;With Chocolate Pillow we aim to change this.  We found so many review sites out there that just did not provide any functionality to hotels at all.  What is the point in getting reviews if you can&amp;rsquo;t do anything about them?  Chocolate Pillow was conceived to change this and to open up a new form of communication between guest and hotelier.  Chocolate Pillow was designed specifically for Hoteliers and Guests to be able to communicate more easily between each other.  Social Networking has met up with Reviews and the two of them are joining forces to create a new generation of customer feedback&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;ldquo;It will offer a new form of interaction, with guests able to contact other guests and hotels by private messaging system and able to access and contribute to the forums and obviously to add comprehensive reviews to Chocolate Pillow.  Hotels are able to respond to guests by private messaging system, also to set up their own hotel details section and edit is as and when they want to, they can also order their own professional review of their hotel with recommendations given by the reviewer on ways to improve areas. The possibilities are endless and more is yet to come with an online magazine already in the pipeline to give advice to hoteliers and travellers and also the production of advanced surveys in progress.  We are looking at many more ways to enhance the travel experience in the UK and we want people to start enjoying the British Isles again&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Chocolate Pillow is new and as such&amp;hellip; needs you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;.  Hotels and Guests are invited to join and start reviewing, guests can register for free and hoteliers can register for just £99.00 for the first 12 months and this gives full access to their hotel set-up and previews of all future developments before anyone else. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;So what are you waiting for? Get decadent with Chocolate Pillow!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;For additional information you can visit &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chocolatepillow.com/"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;www.chocolatepillow.com&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or contact &lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:pressoffice@chocolatepillow.com"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;pressoffice@chocolatepillow.com&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
