Hipmunk is one of our favorite services for finding cheap airfare, but they can also help you find a cheap, well-rated hotel room. Today they've updated their hotel search tools to help you quickly find hotels around a specific location on a map, and easily compare reviews and prices before you book.
If you're traveling for business, going to a conference, or just visiting friends, the update features a new map you can use to either drop a pin near where you want to stay, or type in an address or destination name (like a convention center or well-known location). You'll see all of the hotels within a few miles of that destination, and you can browse and compare them directly (you can expand or contract the radius if you want.)
From there, you can check how well the hotel is regarded in specific areas, like the food, the rooms, customer service, and so on. You can even read complete reviews so you can get a better idea of what you're in for when you choose a specific location. When you are ready to book, Hipmunk will show you a price breakdown of various hotel booking services, so you can choose the cheapest one for the specific room and hotel you've selected. The video above is a good rundown of the new features, but if you want to try it out yourself, hit the link below. The update should be available now both on the web and in Hipmunk's mobile apps.
