excellent hotel website for travellers: Hotels.com allows you to find and book hotels online or by phone. It is easy to use and has a narrow web-page which makes it easy to browse even for people with lower resolution screens.
The website auto complete feature works very nicely. The resulting search returns a nice list of hotels where you can see prices, address of the hotel on the map and ratings. But the most spectacular feature for me is the "Map View" tab which allows me to select hotels by their location.
It also allows you select the type of facilities that you want from your hotel such as swimming pool or gym. I like this feature as it helps me keep fit while I am traveling.
The only thing I don't like about this website is the yellow/orange theme. Also the top menus appear a bit white or colorless which is a bit demanding on the eyes. I would prefer the drop down menus to have a bit more color so that they can easier be differentiated from the background.
But all in all I like the website very much and have been using it a lot in the past.
