We also provide help in narrowing the sports fans hotel choices," Samos added. They can select from six search filters – distance, hotel, name (keywords), price, hotel rating and preferred web sites."
An Interactive Map & Distance Calculator assists travelers in determining geographically where they want to stay in relation to the specific Olympic venue or some other precise map destination. That could save even more time and money, since transportation and parking may also be scarce or at a premium during the most popular Olympics events.
Our system averages the hotel class ratings from many of the web sites as it searches, giving travelers a better overall idea of the class rating of a hotel," Samos emphasized.
