这一切就是旅行网站Winston Club的奇思妙想。不仅为酒店解决了房间空置问题，半价也吸引了不少游客拼房入住。网站创始人Bryon Shannon在自己外出旅行时，曾在Airbnb上出租自己位于西雅图的家，当时他脑海中就有了这个想法。他可不想支付高昂的房费，但也不想随便找一间招待所或者在Airbnb找一间屋子将就一晚。他相信很多人都有这样的困扰。
况且，也不是所有人都介意和陌生人拼房这事儿。Shannon发现，反而很多人都乐于见到这样的服务。当然，别想歪了，这可不是秘密约会，也不是线上约炮哦。Shannon表示，不少旅游爱好者、学生和自由职业者都对拼酒店表示出了浓厚的兴趣。和陌生人同住对于独自出行的孤寡老人和退休人士而言，也是一个不错的选择。
在Shannon看来，Winston Club的定位是“旅行代理”。网站分别与酒店及游客取得联系，并从房费中获取一小部分的手续费。但游客浏览网站、查询酒店的过程中无需支付任何费用。网站也会核实游客身份，防止身份盗用的情况发生，确保游客能安全拼房，快乐旅行。
注册用户需要与网站进行第三方视频认证，并提供五种身份证明，包括社交网络概况、手机号码、信用卡账号、邮箱地址及带有个人照片的身份证。Shannon认为这是“最有效的个人身份认证方式”。
用户注册成功后就可更新个人的年龄、性别、职业、兴趣及同住偏好等个人资料，并以此为参考，自行筛选拼房用户。
3月起，Winston Club网站的拼酒店服务将对公众开放，5座城市(西雅图、旧金山、洛杉矶、波特兰、拉斯维加斯)中共有12家四星级以上的酒店与网站建立了合作关系。Winston Club网站上这样写道：“根据用户的喜好，会有更多新城市加入到我们的行列。”
如果你还是不放心，Shannon也有话说：“所有背景资料均经过配对，一切如顶级酒店一般安全可靠…事实上，这是最安全的拼房形式。”

I have been staying in these hotel for the past two years. The first time, it wasnt that bad but it wasnt that great neither. Since then the hotel has done some renovations and the rooms look more modern with very comfortable beds and pillows, the linen has been upgraded as well. I think they have removed the nasty carpets in most of the rooms. The bathrooms look very clean and modern, at least in the family rooms. There used to work a front desk lady that was extremely rude and could barely speak any English but now there are working two ladies with a better attitude but still very poor English, yet they do try their best to communicate and they are way friendlier that the other one. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the airport. But if you come for the first time, you will have to pay for the ride to the airport, though it is not really a lot, about 15 or 20 CNY which it is nothing. For frequent guests, these shuttle bus will be free. They also give a free shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel, but I am not sure how this works. The breakfast is basically Chinese, the only Western would be coffee and toast, but no butter or jam. Overall, value for money is really good as they offer good rooms for a fair price. A similar hotel in Shanghais downtown will cost you at least double and I am not sure if you will find the same quality as this one. It is a far from Shanghai downtown but it is very close to Pudong Airport. There is a metro line nearby but definitely not walking distance. "Good pick-up service","Good value for money","Close to airport"

客观评价，优点:离机场近，且有免费送机服务。早餐就那样。缺点:房间隔音效果太差，隔壁洗澡冲水的声音都听得到，空调也老化，一打开，抽风声音像拖拉机，没法睡，幸好是冬天，不开空调盖厚点也能睡，淋浴头也是坏的
