What AI tells guests

AI doesn't recommend you when guests ask about Chicago

More and more guests ask an AI assistant where to stay before they search, and book from the shortlist it gives them. We asked one, Claude, the five questions guests ask most, on 18 October 2026, letting it search the web as it answered.

Your website

Your website's health is 66 out of 100

We read 6 pages of congressplazahotel.com on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 11 things to fix. These cost you the most guests:

  1. 1
    Your home page doesn't say whose it is

    Google and AI assistants read a page's title and top line to know what it is about.

    What to do: Put your hotel's name and town in your home page's title and as its first heading.

  2. 2
    Nothing on your website says what makes your hotel special

    AI assistants look for a page about a hotel to describe it to guests.

    What to do: Add a page about your hotel: its story, what's special, and what's nearby.

  • A button to book on your home page, through TravelClick
  • No WhatsApp link, where most guests in India ask first
  • A phone number a guest can tap to call
  • AI assistants can read your website
What to do this week

Three things to do this week

Each one comes from what we found above, and each wins back guests who book you direct.

  1. 1
    Keep your website the cheapest place to book

    None of the main booking sites asks less than your website today. One rate change on any of them undoes it.

    How: Check your price on each of them every week, and on your busy dates every day.

  2. 2
    Give AI assistants a reason to recommend you

    Asked about where to stay, family holidays and couples' stays in Chicago, AI recommended The Langham, Chicago and The Peninsula Chicago and others, not you.

    How: Add a page to your website for each kind of guest, with your rooms, prices and what's nearby. AI assistants recommend the hotels whose pages answer the guest's question.

  3. 3
    Your home page doesn't say whose it is

    Google and AI assistants read a page's title and top line to know what it is about.

    How: Put your hotel's name and town in your home page's title and as its first heading.

With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.

What a full reading adds

We've already done 4 of the 6 readings your first look is built from

Everything above came from what anyone can see: Google, Google Hotels, Google Maps, an AI assistant and your own website. Your hotel's own reading fills in the rest and turns each finding into a figure you can act on.

The readings your first look is built from
  • Your price on booking sites36 sites for one night
  • Google and Google Mapsrated 3.7 from 8,145 reviews
  • Your website6 pages read, health 66 out of 100

Your own reading takes about half an hour, and nothing has to be connected to your systems.

What this page doesn't cover at all
The guests who never come through a booking site

There is no commission on any of these, and this page says nothing about them. We haven't looked at any of them for you.

  • Weddings and events
  • Conferences and company travel
  • Travel agents and tour operators
  • Events that publish a list of hotels
  • The nights your town fills up
  • What your competitors charge, nightly

  • Weddings and events

    The planners and families booking weddings in Chicago, who fill your 871 rooms for three nights at a time and never touch a booking site.

  • Conferences and company travel

    The companies running meetings and incentive trips near you, and the firms whose staff already stay in Chicago every week.

  • Travel agents and tour operators

    The agents and operators selling Chicago to guests abroad, who send the same rooms again and again once you're on their list.

  • Events that publish a list of hotels

    Festivals, matches and conferences in and around Chicago that name hotels to stay at. Being on that list costs nothing, and most hotels never ask.

  • The nights your town fills up

    Which dates Chicago runs out of rooms months ahead, so you price them before your competitors do, rather than after.

  • What your competitors charge, nightly

    Their price for every night ahead, not the one night on this page, so you know which nights you are leaving money on.

Stop losing $189,056 to $354,480 a month

OneHorizyn finds where your hotel loses money and tells you what to fix first, every week:

  • Booking sites
    When they sell your room for less than your own website, so more guests book you direct
  • Your competitors
    Their prices in Chicago for the nights ahead, so you price every night right
  • Google and AI
    What they tell guests about you, and how to get recommended first
