New Interactive Mapping Feature Helps Colorado Travelers Find Optimal Hotel Locations and Prices

LodgintHunt.com announces its release of its interactive hotel mapping tool, which highlights both the hotel's proximity and analysis of competitive nightly prices.

Data integrated within the map makes for more efficient analysis and better decision making.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 31, 2008 -- To provide a more effective overview of Colorado lodging choices based upon price and location, LodgingHunt.com has added a new interactive feature to its website that overlays available hotels in Colorado over a map of each city.

Joshua McAllister, President of LodgingHunt.com explained, "For most travelers, the two most important elements in choosing their hotel reservation are cost and location. Within any destination, there is a sea of hotel choices, and it is not easy to ascertain how convenient each location truly is. By displaying each hotel clearly on a map, with a marker showing its lowest nightly rate, a traveler can easily determine which hotel offers the best mixture of price and proximity."

For example, a search of Denver lodging would produce a map of the city of Denver. Numbers representing available hotels would appear on the map - allowing the traveler to quickly see which hotel has the best location.

The hotels are numbered in ascending order, beginning with the number one to represent the cheapest base rate. As the hotel number increases, so does the lowest base price. This ensures that travelers can equally balance the best rate with the right location.

Momentarily holding the cursor over a number will produce a pop-up box that shows the hotel name, lowest base price, and an overview of the property. Clicking on the name of the hotel will take the user to a page containing an expanded property description and reservation information. Double-clicking the number will zoom in on the area and re-center the property on the map.

Travelers heading to Breckenridge for a ski vacation need only to search Breckenridge lodging on LodgingHunt.com. The viewer would see a map of the town of Breckenridge, and numbers appear on the map to represent available lodging choices, their locations, and an indication of cost based on how low or high the corresponding number is. The value hotels would be assigned a low number such as a one or a two, while a five-star resort might be numbered in the 50's or 60's.

The user might find several hotels adjacent to a favorite ski run. Conveniently, based upon the numbering system, the traveler instantly recognizes which hotel is the most budget-friendly. To learn more about a particular hotel, the user simply needs to scroll over the hotel, revealing the name of the hotel, the property's lowest nightly rate, and a brief description of the facility.

Clicking on the hotel name would take the user to a page with a more in-depth property description, and a reservation feature that allows the traveler to view price and availability based upon specific travel dates.

The feature works for any Colorado city on LodgingHunt.com; thus, a business traveler looking for Colorado Springs lodging can easily click on the name of the city to view the map and available hotels. The same would hold true for travelers going to Denver, or to any other city in Colorado where lodging information is available.

This mapping feature greatly simplifies the search for a hotel and assists the traveler in making the best choice based upon a combination of factors. According to Wikipedia, "Data integrated within the map makes for more efficient analysis and better decision making." Thus, with LodgingHunt.com's interactive mapping feature, travelers can streamline their decisions based upon both location and price.
