First Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns Application
DANA POINT, Calif., March 31, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —-iLoveInns.com (http://www.iloveinns.com), the leading publisher of bed & breakfast and country inns information, today announced the release of a new version of InnTouch for iPhone and iPod touch users. The application now allows users to quickly find more than 6,000 carefully selected inns and small hotels in the United States and Canada.
InnTouch gives access to America’s top award-winning inns and one-of-a-kind bed & breakfasts on the iPhone or iPod touch. InnTouch is powered by iLoveInns.com, a leading Website for bed & breakfast information and booking.
In February, Apple chose the InnTouch application as a “Staff Favorite” from among their more than 15,000 applications on the App Store.
Other upgrades made to the original InnTouch app include access to customer reviews, inn videos and a variety of interface enhancements, making the overall experience for users more enjoyable.
Top features of the mobile guide include descriptions and detailed information on B&Bs and boutique inns in nearly 3,000 cities, 20,000 photos, the ability to locate inns near your current location, and push-to-call capability that allows users to immediately reach the inn for questions or to make reservations. Users can see the inn’s address on a map, get directions, save the address in their contact list and e-mail or visit the inn’s Website with single-click actions. InnTouch includes a cookbook with 1,200 recipes of innkeepers’ favorite dishes served at B&Bs and country inns nationwide.
“iPhone InnTouch is a superb tool for business travelers who can find a B&B within a few miles of their location,” stated Chris Monahan, chief technology officer at iLoveInns.com. “One couple we heard about was stranded in a snow storm and discovered an inn less than a mile away from their location. They were able to get a room before nightfall because of the InnTouch application.”
InnTouch is an application available on the iPhone App Store. Apple, the Apple logo, iPod and iPhone are trademarks of Apple, Inc.
