Finding an affordable hotel can be an exhausting task. Google is experimenting with a new feature in Google Maps that will let you see the hotel price in the search results!
Google is rolling this out to only a small portion of its users right now. Those with access will be able to enter the date of their expected visit to a particular city and get prices on nearby hotels from advertisers who have provided that data.
“You can click on the price to see a list of advertisers who have provided pricing information for that hotel, indicated by the ‘Sponsored’ text, and click to reserve a room on the advertiser’s site,” Google said in a blog post.
Right now, you can go to www.google.com/maps and enter “hotels: New Orleans or other city/state” and Google will return all hotels in that area as well as their locations. Here’s an example of the Google Maps results for someone who is searching for hotels in New York City:
The new pricing feature “will not change the way hotels are ranked in Google Maps. Google Maps ranks business listings based on their relevance to the search terms entered, along with geographic distance and other factors, regardless of where there is an associated price.”
With this new feature, Google hopes to make trip planning more speedy and efficient.
