We have been happy with the ability to control content for the booking engine directly from the application and its flexibility to control rate displays. OTA and GDS direct connectivity is a definite enhancement over products we have used in the past.Kristi Garrahan, Director - Central Reservation Systems, Red Lion Hotels Corporation
