When choosing a website design solution for your hotel, the key factors often boil down to proven performance, feature set, ease of use, and support quality. Both SHR Website Design by SHR Group and TAG Web Design by The Anything Group aim to elevate your digital presence, but they do so with very different track records, capabilities, and market presence. Your decision should hinge on your hotel’s size, budget, and need for advanced features.
SHR Group, with over 169 reviews and a recent review collection, commands a significantly stronger reputation and a comprehensive feature set. The Anything Group, being newer and with no reviews, presents a less proven option. So, which platform truly offers better value and reliability for your hotel?
SHR Group has a high overall rating of 4.87/5 from 169 reviews, with recent feedback confirming consistent satisfaction. Its robust features include 13 shared functionalities plus one exclusive hotel website template, making it a versatile choice for hotels seeking proven solutions.
The Anything Group, on the other hand, has no reviews or recent feedback, which makes it difficult to assess its performance or customer satisfaction. Its feature set includes five unique features like review widgets and storefront options, but the lack of review data leaves uncertainties about its reliability.
Given the extensive feedback and high ratings, SHR Group clearly has the edge for hotels that prioritize proven results and ongoing support. Are you comfortable trying a less tested platform with no user reviews?
If your hotel needs a platform with extensive proven track records, integrations, and a comprehensive suite of features, SHR Group is the clear choice. Its platform suits medium to large hotels looking to boost direct bookings, improve analytics, and benefit from a global presence.
Conversely, if your hotel is smaller, with a tight budget, or seeks a modern visual overhaul without needing extensive integrations or advanced features, TAG Web Design might seem attractive. However, the lack of reviews and proven case studies makes it a riskier investment. SHR remains the more reliable option for hotels serious about their online presence.
SHR Group’s platform boasts a high ease of use rating of 4.69/5, supported by positive review comments about its straightforward onboarding and manageable complexity. Users praise its intuitive interface, clear navigation, and responsive support, which collectively ease staff adoption.
The Anything Group offers no publicly available ratings or reviews, making it impossible to gauge its usability or onboarding experience. Without this data, the safest assumption is that SHR Group’s long-standing reputation for user-friendly interfaces and onboarding support gives it a decisive advantage.
Edge: SHR Group.
SHR Group offers 13 shared features plus one exclusive hotel website template, including advanced analytics, multiple integrations, and marketing tools—features recognized by users as directly contributing to increased revenue. Its unique hotel-specific website templates allow customization aligned with your branding.
The Anything Group provides five unique features like review widgets, storefront functionality, and Google AMP markup, but with no data on how these features perform in real hotel settings. SHR’s larger feature footprint and proven integrations offer a more comprehensive toolkit for hotel websites.
Edge: SHR Group.
SHR Group’s support scores a remarkable 4.85/5, with reviews emphasizing its responsiveness, knowledgeable team, and proactive account management. Clients often mention their support team as instrumental in optimizing their websites and increasing bookings.
The Anything Group, lacking reviews or ratings, offers no verifiable support data. Based on the available information, SHR’s established support reputation clearly outshines the uncertainty surrounding The Anything Group’s customer service.
Edge: SHR Group.
SHR Group boasts 81 verified integrations, including major PMS and distribution platforms like Criton, Priority Software, and OpenHotel, enabling seamless connectivity across your hotel tech stack. These integrations facilitate smoother operations and more accurate data flow.
The Anything Group, with zero verified integrations, limits your ability to connect with your existing systems, potentially increasing manual work or risking data inconsistencies. SHR’s extensive integration network makes it the more flexible and scalable choice.
Edge: SHR Group.
SHR Group’s reviews indicate consistently high satisfaction across different hotel segments, including city center hotels (4.5/5 from 2 reviews) and boutique hotels (154 reviews at 4.89/5). Its recent reviews confirm ongoing positive experiences, emphasizing ROI and ease of use.
The Anything Group has no reviews, leaving its user satisfaction unverified. For a hotelier seeking peer-reviewed confidence, SHR’s proven reputation offers a decisive advantage.
Edge: SHR Group.
SHR Group’s platform is priced at $900 upfront, with no additional implementation or monthly fees, making it accessible for many hotels looking for a cost-effective solution. Its transparent pricing reflects its extensive feature set and proven performance.
The Anything Group charges $2,000 as a base price, with no mention of ongoing costs or implementation fees, but the lack of review data makes its value and long-term affordability uncertain. SHR’s established pricing structure provides clarity and confidence.

The core difference lies in proven performance and market presence. SHR Group’s platform is backed by hundreds of reviews, a high satisfaction score, and a robust feature set, making it suitable for hotels seeking reliability and growth. The Anything Group’s offering, lacking reviews and with fewer features, presents more risk and less confidence.
If your hotel prioritizes stability, support, and proven results, SHR Group is the clear winner. Its extensive integrations, high user ratings, and ongoing support make it the safer, more effective choice.
Conversely, if your hotel is very small, on a tight budget, or simply needs a basic visual refresh, The Anything Group might be worth exploring. Still, the absence of reviews makes it difficult to justify over the well-established SHR platform.
In conclusion, for most hotels serious about their online presence and digital growth, SHR Website Design stands out as the more trustworthy and feature-rich solution—even if it comes at a slightly higher price point.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. SHR Group has an HT Score of 43 and The Anything Group has 0. Here is how the score is calculated.
| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
