Has this ever happened to you?
You have an appointment in a city you have never been in and are looking for a hotel nearby.
On that is comfortably priced, but not too trashy?
HotelMaps.com shows your selected city with icons with room rates and hotel star ratiMaybe you have a trade convention and want to see how far you are going to have to walk or go by taxi to get to the hall.
It searches what seems like a couple dozen sites so that it doesn't miss anything -- the names fly by on the screen, so you get to know what is going on in your search search.
Don't like what you see. The icons stay there even if you decide to select a nearby city.
Since the map is served up by Google, you can switch to the street view and get a good feel for the surroundings.
This takes the vertical search market into a new level of usefulness and "that was something I have always wanted."
Give HotelMaps.com a try. Let me know what you think about it.
