Stayful.com is a company that's been making waves of late. They've been getting some excellent press coverage and the business model is extremely hotel-friendly. So I hopped across to check it out for myself. It didn't take me very long to see why this is a great resource for hoteliers who want to sell off any unsold inventory for arrivals within the next 30 days. The best part - All reservations are final and the hotel gets paid within 48 hours.

I spoke with Roberta Seiler - VP of Sales and Partner Development, and she delves further into how hoteliers can maximize this resource to their benefit.

So if you are an independent boutique hotel, I highly recommend you consider Stayful.com (http://www.stayful.com).
