Hotel location, location, location!

Maps-mania is everywhere on the web and these guys had launched a maps-mania tool to select your hotel based on location: www.seeyourhotel.com.

Users search for a location and get a full size map with markers for all hotels in the area. Then they can view pictures, video and reviews of the hotel, compare them with other hotels and do reservation via Hotel.com.

The limitation to Hotels.com for booking is not great, so I recommend a similar website www.vibeagent.com that has same features but it gives you more booking sites options (around 30, including Venere, Booking.com, Hotel.com, Priceline. LateRooms) and also possibility of narrowing your hotel search by loyaly programs.
