0:00-1:30 Welcome everyone, I'm here today with Room 77 VP and GM Kevin Fliess. 1:30-1:45 It's just been a wild ride since you launched last year, hasn't it? 1:45-3:15 So the produce you launched was "see the room before you commit to a room," yes? 3:15-5:15 Walk us through the product, Kevin. 5:15-6:15 You're agnostic as to where the user books from? 6:15-7:45 Where does the data about the hotels come from? 7:45-8:45 Do you think TripAdvisor is still a reliable resource? 8:45-13:30 Thank you to Walker Corporate Law for sponsoring the program! Call Scott at 310-288-6667. 13:30-15:45 Show us what it looks like when you actually see pictures of the rooms. 15:45-17:00 Is there going to be a time when I request a specific room and I'm guaranteed to get that room? 17:00-19:00 Let's take a look at the view out of a room. How did you generate this? 19:00-21:30 What's been the reaction from hotels to your service? What do they like and dislike? 21:30-22:30 What do the naysayers think? What about the people whose rooms are revealed to be lemons? 22:30-24:00 Kevin tells a story about when a DC hotel was concerned about the sight lines to the White House were too visible on Room 77's site. 24:00-26:45 Has the view from the room and the detail level you provide lived up to your expectations as a competitive differintiator? 26:45-28:15 What's the commission if you book a plane ticket versus a hotel? 28:15-30:30 Why doesn't a successful airline merge with a hotel chain and cross sell? 30:30-35:00 Let's talk about the Hotel Tonight phenomenon. What a disruptive experience, yes? 35:00-36:30 So what's next for Room 77? 36:30-39:00 When are you going to add Airbnb to your system? 39:00-41:30 Do you think we're resetting expectations for travelers? Will older people still be comfortable with using a service like Airbnb. 41:30-45:00 Is there still an internal debate on whether or not you want to be in the review business? 45:00-47:45 Are there any publications you trust for reviews of hotels? 47:45-48:00 Kevin, thank you so much for joining us today.
