The wacky thing about the Internet is the sheer lack of trustworthiness (woo....big word) regarding the information you will find on it. You really have to learn to recognize unreliable information when you see it. No web site exemplifies this better (IMHO) than Trip Advisor.
It's a great site that helps you to plan a trip by getting reviews from people who've stayed at the hotel you're considering, with links to other sites that will help you get deals too. The reviews make for interesting reading. Some are easily identifiable as sincere, personal accounts with helpful details about the hotel. Others are blatant attempts to trash the hotel with questionable facts and even more blatant suggestions for better hotels down the street, using travel agent lingo.
It just goes to show you, be careful not to take everything you read too seriously.
