Google launched Hotel Finder service

Yes, yes, this is exactly what it looks like - Google decided to help travelers and business travelers to help with the choice of hotels. In this case, you can choose a hotel just to fit your needs - we introduce criteria, and at the output we get the desired one. The criteria that a system needs for a normal search are places, dates, price range and rating (number of stars, etc.). Unfortunately, so far Hotel Finder is available only to residents of the United States (and why am I not surprised? :)). Rather, everyone can search, but only within the United States.

The service, according to the developers, helps to accomplish several important tasks for the tourist / businessman:

Search for a better place. If you are not local and are looking for the best area in an unfamiliar city, Hotel Finder allows you to do this by highlighting popular regions right on the map. The company calls it a "tourist spotlight." Similar illumination is scaled, as well as everything that is connected with Google maps.


The best deal . Users can select prices for a hotel room from a wide range, plus you can compare prices for rooms in the same hotel at different time intervals. Click on one of the hotels will display a range of prices for rooms, including prices for previous periods. The service calculates the percentage deviation of prices from the "normal".


Comparison of hotels. Again, clicking on a single hotel displays a number of details relating to a particular object. Photos, reviews, pricing and more. It is clear that seeing reviews of guests taken from other resources, you can navigate to the fact that you have chosen a good hotel or not.



Selection of hotels. Users can create lists of hotels that will be compared in the future. Results are marked with a red dot on Google Maps, and appear at the bottom of the page.

In general, the service is really very useful, we expect it to expand to other countries, including the CIS countries.
