A lot of other booking sites already allow you to filter hotel search results by neighborhood, price range and star ratings as well as compare prices on other sites. Another bummer is that the hotel photos, while larger than you see on other booking sites, are still pretty standard hotel photos. So what you get in person may not actually be what Hotel Finder is showing.
And to be honest, all this information that shows up is not that different from what pops up in Google Maps, just a little bit expanded.
However, the one thing we did like those was the comparison function where Hotel Finder tells you how much more or less the hotel is going for than its usual rate. For instance, August 4-5 at the Harbor Court Hotel in San Francisco is going for $278 a night, about 48 percent more than normal. Good to know.
So while we're not sold on abandoning our usual crazy insane insane crazy booking process that we normally go through when booking a hotel, we'll definitely keep an eye out on Google's Hotel Finder to see how it shakes out.
