Book a Bed & Breakfast Vacation Using Your iPhone
Here's a useful travel tool for those who have an iPhone or an IPod touch. Or, for those who were hoping to purchase one of these versatile gadgets. American Historic Inns and ILoveInns.com, publishers of more than 60 award-winning travel guidebooks, recently unveiled their latest travel aid - InnTouch. This free and easy-to-download program, available exclusively for Apple iPhone and iPod touch, allows travelers to quickly research, locate and book a room at a bed and breakfast, country inn or boutique hotel.
This comprehensive software includes detailed descriptions of more than 3,500 inns, boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts throughout the United States and Canada. InnTouch also provides photos of the properties, information about rates and links to the inn's website. When you are ready to book a room, simply touch the green "Call" box and you will be connected to the B&B or boutique hotel automatically. The software is available online at the Apple App Store and ILoveInns.com; it takes just a few seconds to download and is free of charge.
The InnTouch '09 application includes travel information that is updated daily by both innkeepers and the ILoveInns staff, so you will always have the most accurate details at your fingertips. In addition, ILoveInns also has included more than 1,000 favorite innkeeper recipes on the application, so you can enjoy some inn cuisine in your own home.
Chris Monahan, chief technology officer at iLoveInns.com, was the lead designer of the application and explains, "You can search for inns by city, or seeing what's around using the "Nearby" feature. This pulls your GPS coordinates and shows you nearby inns within 60 miles."
The InnTouch program is a convenient all-in-one software -- a person can call the inn with one touch; without dialing each digit of the phone number. The program will find an inn's address on a map, provide directions, save the address in your contact list and you can email or visit the property's website with a single click.
"We plan on adding many new features in the upcoming year," Monahan said, "but after our initial launch, InnTouch already has received great response from travelers who are using it worldwide.
