Ever tried to make an online hotel reservation using the most common booking enginees?

Yeah.. they are great and complex online reservation systems, and you can select so many parameters to meet your travel expectations or needs, but what if you just want to have a look to a list of bookable hotels in your chosen destination, say in Orlando, before spending too much time filling in complicated hotel availability search forms?

Finally a true Hotel Directory!

Have you ever tried to find hotel contact information for a locality you have no access to telephone directories or similar guides?
It's not easy we know, unless you already know the hotel name, or in any case are lucky enough, so that you can easily find the hotel website with a Google search (...Yahoo, MSN or your preferred search engine).
Here is a hotel directory which makes things easier. At HotelBeam.com you can just browse by region to find the hotels listed for each town. Each hotel is featured with at least address and official website and, if provided by the hotel, with email address, telephone, fax.
Indeed this directory needs to be well populated before you can say it is of great help to find hotels info in a certain location but the path is set and the hotel directory is growing (...dear hotel owner please add your hotel if you whish to be part of this!).
