About Us
We visit in person, like your mother-in-law.
Oyster is the Hotel Tell-All. We send professional investigators to every hotel, and we publish comprehensive high-resolution photos, amazing panoramas, and expert reviews. Our photos aren't doctored and our reviews are honest, so you know exactly what you're going to get before you arrive.
