Contributor Bio(s): Henke-Sarmento, Cindy: - Hotels No More the lodging directory began in 1998 by Cynthia Henke. In her profession as a Breast Biopsy Applications person she traveled extensively internationally and nationally. Her position often sent her to small towns in the US and she found it difficult to find good places to stay. They were often very low end motel chains and as a woman wanted to find a place that she felt safe and comfortable. She was looking for a B & B but her travel agent didn't have access to that information. How odd to have listings for every hotel and motel chain but nothing to find B & B's or Inns etc. She and a friend wrote approximately 11,000 letters to every Chamber of Commerce, Tourisum Bureau and State to aquire the information for this database. |
