Pro tip: I started asking the front desk one question at the Great Lakes Hotel in Duluth, and now I can spot a fake review in about 10 seconds
I stayed at a hotel in Duluth last month for my cousin's wedding and got put on hold for 9 minutes when I called to ask if they had real rooms with windows after seeing a listing full of praise that read way too clean. The clerk laughed and said the place gets slammed by review bots every summer, which is why half the 5 star posts mention a pool view that doesn't exist. So now when I read reviews I look for small messy stuff like a broken ice machine on the 3rd floor or a front desk guy named Dale who was slow with towels. Real people leave those details, bots always write the same happy paragraph with no address and no gripe. I flagged 6 fake listings in one weekend just by checking if the reviewer mentions a street name or a specific staff member. Has anyone else tried calling the actual front desk to test if a review holds up?
