SiteMinder review

SiteMinder is a distribution platform first, and its Website Builder is built to turn that distribution into direct bookings. On SiteMinder Plus, you pick a template, add rooms, images and policies with on-page editing, connect SiteMinder's Booking Engine (or another engine) and publish. Themes are mobile-optimized, the site supports 20+ languages and includes SEO tools, and you can list on Google Hotel Ads, Trivago and Tripadvisor straight from the site. The Hotel App Store adds 100+ apps for upsells, guest messaging, loyalty and reviews, and a Tripadvisor widget can prompt post-stay reviews. Support runs 24/7 by chat in nine languages, plus phone and email. The cost is the main hurdle. The website builder is on SiteMinder Plus from $179 USD a month, while the base plan at $135 does not include it, and you start by talking to sales. For an independent hotel already selling on many channels, that buys a lot of tooling. A five-room B&B will pay for features it does not use.
