This

it is fairly easy to spot the idiots who review stuff, click on the name and read some of the others they have done

Looking at NY hotels and have used Trip adviser, one of the reviews marked the hotel 3 and said " the cab ride from the hotel took too long due to traffic " how the hell is the hotel to blame for that ? ? ?
