NEW YORK, March 13 /PRNewswire/ --

- By Taking Advantage of Weak Dollar, Travelers Book Quality Hotels

As the value of the U.S. dollar weakens, Quikbook.com, an online hotel
booking Website (www.quikbook.com) provides travelers throughout the United
Kingdom access to upscale independent and boutique hotels at a better bargain
when visiting the United States for shopping, sightseeing and soaking in the
American culture.

With the increased competition of travel booking Websites, Quikbook.com
has helped thousands of independent travelers save on hotel accommodations
since the New York-based company was founded in 1988. To add flexibility for
the traveler arriving to the United States, Quikbook.com's unique policy of
not requiring pre-payment and not charging fees to change or cancel
reservations is essential for those who may experience delays or last minute
cancellations associated with international travel.

"Most other hotel sites require guests to pay upfront for their entire
stay and charge penalty fees whenever guests change or cancel their
reservations. The majority of Quikbook.com's hotels do not require
pre-payment to reserve," said Brian Hendricks, director of eMarketing and
Information Systems. "Guests pay the hotel directly at check out and can
change or cancel these reservations without any penalties or fees."

A popular feature with international travelers is the "Quikpick" label.
Travelers can book their hotel stays months or even weeks in advance, for
greater savings. Without worrying about fees should their plans alter
slightly, this feature translates into additional money for shopping and
other activities when visiting the U.S.

For 20 years, Quikbook.com has solely specialized in booking hotel rooms
at the lowest rates for consumers. With no banners ads, or additional links
toward additional products or services, Quikbook.com provides a cost-saving
directly to the consumer.

Travelers will find in-depth profiles on each property, based on detailed
inspections by Quikbook.com's staff. Every hotel gets a "Q" rating
http://www.quikbook.com/qratings.asp based on the company's unique scoring
system. Photos and detailed lists of amenities and services accompany the
description of each hotel, and comments from Quikbook.com's customers are
also included.

Major cities in the U.S. where visitors can book hotels include New York
City, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. to name
a few.
