Looks good. The 'more details' button on the listings just links back to the homepage and there is no 'book now' or similar button on the actual hotel page listings. I think you need another call to action other than just one for reviews.
Fancy doing one of my hotel domains for me?

If you do want to try selling the theme or offer a service to develop sites for people, then maybe we could come to an arrangement to get clients via my travel affiliate blog ?

Just wondering, which do you prefer (if any?) Typekit, Typeface.js, Sifr?
ONTOPIC: Some of the spacing doesn't look right (Text is too low on the nav menu + on the headers of the boxes on the left)

If I ever use anything "fancy" it's from the Google Web Fonts.

Wow last time I checked they only had about 7 on there. Also that was when every designer and there mum was using lobster to spruce up their designs.
Nice to see there are some more on it - Might use it again soon.

Thanks for all the comments / feedback
Yes its something I will look at when its finished - It needs lots more work, speeding up, compressing + minifying.
It could do with utilising XML + cron instead of CSV feed, Right now with csv feed its not really an out-of-the-box solution, as it means having to strip the 50mb+ laterooms csv into regions and upload it every 3 months. Not ideal but its a start... Watch this space
A while ago i did a site using American Typewriter and had to use all 3! (Dont ask) but cufon will do for now if if an get the file size down a bit.
The menu line height is something im aware of but too tired to fix right now
Great work.
You should definitely sell the theme / develop domains for others

I find typekit + css3 renders rough on sceen, i hate the cufon delay and think SIFr is a pain to set up.

Hi. Some comments :
This looks great, clean and natural.
- maybe zoom in one or perhaps two levels on the initial Google map
- maybe purple rather than mid-blue for the title and text in the top band
- maybe middle-align (rather than bottom align) the main purple horizontal navigation bar
- the left sidebar titles seem overlarge compared to the main top horizontal navigation bar : I realise the main bar has lots of long words, but it may be worth reducing the font size on the left (and for the righthand advert header)
- the righthand advert skyscraper could do with allowing some blank space around the advert : with TheLadders, for example, the advert has a thick black border which pushes against the purple header.
- there is no favicon
- I am not sure what the category guest accommodation means compared to the others
- the lefthand Sheffield box seems an uneasy mixture of accommodation categories (which could go above), info about Sheffield (which seems quite light) and about/contact info about the website (which could move down to a formatted purple footer alongside the copyright statement and a link to a privacy policy)
Hope that helps
David
