This wikiHow teaches you how to browse for a hotel in Google Maps when you’re using a computer.
Steps
-
1Go to https://maps.google.com in a web browser. You can use any web browser on your computer to access Google Maps.
-
2Search for a location. Type an address, city, or landmark into the search bar at the top-left corner of the screen, then select a match from the search results. This opens a map of that area.
- If you’re looking for a hotel at your current location and the map is already at the right place, skip to the next step.
-
3Type hotels into the search bar and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. The left panel now displays a list of hotels, while the map displays price-tags over their locations.
-
4Adjust the Check In and Check Out dates. This will give you accurate pricing information. Use the drop-down menus at the top-left corner of the screen—the prices on the map will automatically recalculate.
-
5Select your maximum price. Use the “Max price/night” slider beneath the Check In and Check Out dates to cap your results under a certain amount. Again, the prices will recalculate.
- The price is listed per-night, not per-stay.
- Prices do not usually include tax.
-
6Click a hotel to view its details. You can click the price-tag on the map or the hotel’s name in the left panel.
- If the hotel supports online booking, you’ll usually see a link (or several links) that will take you to a site to make your purchase.
- To get directions to the location, click Directions next to the hotel’s name at the top of the left panel.
- To send information about the hotel to your phone, click SEND TO YOUR PHONE below the hotel’s name.
