Smart move. That is a great bit of getting your name out in a different fashion than common advertising.

yeah, hotels.com is owned by EXPEDIA. You can expect the same bad service.
I think if we need the old classic travel agent you cna talk if something goes wrong.

well, expedia is crap, orbitz is crap (maddox anyone?) so I guess we’re left with travelocity. (hotels.com sucks too)

Well, EXPEDIA is cheating “unaware” customers. They have to be creative to catch them. EXPEDIA ruined my trips and tried to keep (steal is the right word) the money for services that they failed to provide. Just search for “EXPEDIA complaints” in Google or Yahoo and you will read horrible stories from people that used EXPEDIA.

I say it’s no cost because I assume the cafe is at a minimum breaking even. They own the cafe – and probably even make a bit of money at it.

I noticed that the last time I was in San Jose, too – smart stuff.

But I’m not quite sure how you can say it’s “at absolutely no cost.” Obviously, they had to pay for something, whether it was the naming rights or the cafe itself.
