Thanks for the reference.  I understand.

My client's expect and deserve unbiased and true reviews.

My intention was to offer some sort of incentive for them to visit in the first place.  We are quite confident that they'll be impressed with our level of service and the amenities we provide.

In that spirit, do you or anyone else have any ideas on a best practice to invite a critic to visit the hotels?

My client's own several hotels in Los Angeles. I thought it would be a good idea to ask writers and bloggers to visit the hotel, free of charge, in exchange for a review or write up.

Of course, we want to be above board and up front with everything, including encouraging any review to be the truth and forthright, however I just not sure how best to ask them.  Sometimes I ramble on and have trouble getting to the point and I know its really important here.

Does anyone have any advice here?

Many thanks!
