The Hotel Locator Map shows the location of hotels in Los Angeles, California and adjacent areas.  It allows you to zoom in, zoom out, center, and select hotels for identification.  The map includes an interactive list of hotels that works with the map.  As you zoom in on your area of interest, the list of hotels on the sidebar will adjust to match the hotels you see on the map.  This feature allows you to focus the list of hotels for a specific area of Los Angeles, CA. 

The hotel markers on the map are colored and numbered to match the hotel list.   The colors indicate the price range categories calculated for the hotels in Los Angeles, CA.  If you are interested in only one price range, use the price category check boxes beneath the hotel list to turn off the price ranges you don't need.

For screens set to 1024 x 768 or greater, sort buttons are available on the map interface to sort the hotel list by name, by high rates, or by low rates.  When sorting the hotels by high or low rates, the hotels will remain grouped in the three price categories and each category will be sorted separately.  In addition to sorting the hotels by high or low rates, you may turn hotel rate ranges on or off by using the price category check boxes beneath the hotel list.

After you have focused the hotel list, set the dates for your reservation with the Reservation Dates selection box on the left side of the map. Set the dates for your stay, the number of adults, and the number of children, then click the Update Rates button at the top of the map's hotel list to begin the hotel rate search.  The search routine will step through each hotel and search multiple hotel reservation systems through Interactive Hotel Solutions to find the lowest current rates.

The current rates and the annual average rates are presented for comparison.  The current rates are presented in bold text and the average rates are displayed in small text  ( low | high )  above the current rates.  Compare the current high and low rates to their average values to identify below average rates. 

Hotel rate trend pages showing the rate history of each hotel are linked to the average rate numbers.

The links under each hotel provide access to the hotel information and rate pages.  The rate links will generate rate pages for the number of occupants and dates that you set in the Reservation Dates selection box.  Hotel rooms may be booked through the rate pages.
