THE PROBLEM

The problem I am having
with the XSL below is with the 'ThisHotelID' variable and 'HotelURL' variable.
I don't get an error but I can't seem to be able to get the value of the
'ThisHotelID' variable into the variable of 'HotelURL' - it seems to just
ignore it and parse the variable as if it's empty?!

MY QUESTIONS

What am I
doing wrong here?
Are you not able to put a variable within another variable?
What is the best way to do this?
