Hi Bonehead - is the address of the hotel wrong in our database? The map says that is the right location even when I put the address in directly. The DB says it is at 12683 West Indore Place. Do you know how far from the spot shown on the map it actually is? (Yes, it's plain to see that it is being plotted on a street corner by a few houses!)

I think some of these errors, BTW, come from the mapping software. I know I've used my Garmin Nuvi GPS on more than one occasion where it steered me to someone's living room for a diner and a shopping mall was plotted on a farm a good 20 miles from the correct location. Unfortunately any of those types of errors are going to be built into ours by default. In those situations all we can do is "turn off" a particular hotel that is showing up incorrectly.
