CitySearch is paid listings, many reviews were written for cash or profit. For potentially more accurate reviews try Yelp or Judysbook. When people quote CitySearch as if it is true feedback I cringe because while there are true reviews on CitySearch, many industries reviews are almost completely stacked(high end restaurants, salon services, and even hotel).CitySearch as nothing more than the yellow pages. At times you may be able to read between the lines but I don't recommend taking any reviews at face value. I have been solicited by several business to leave positive feedback for services I never even obtained for rewards, in one instance even a monetary reward. I thought CitySearch had some standard and so I sent the solicitous email with an explanation of what happened to CitySearch and asked them what was appropriate for their site? CitySearch never responded and I noticed the ratings for this particular company and services soared to the top rated spot within the week!
