Mobile App Brings Direct Hotel Search to Mobile Users
HotelSweep's direct hotel search is now available on Android devices.
- (1888PressRelease) February 23, 2012 - In an age of ever increasing rivalry in the online hotel search industry, HotelSweep is hoping to make its mark through the use of innovative information extraction technology to supply a superior user experience with increased speed, precision, search depth and variety.
www.hotelsweep.com is a pricing website which features a very high number of independent hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs that are sometimes missed by established hotel search services dominated by the main traditional hotel brands.
"The consumer experience is critical and although HotelSweep covers the big hotel groups our company offers a much more varied search so that consumers are more likely to discover a more affordable, better value room, purely through a outstanding diversity of results," said Richard Lewis, co-developer of HotelSweep.
HotelSweep also hopes to come to the rescue of Android owners on the road and in search of a low-cost, high quality value room in a Hotel, Guesthouse or B&B. It's recently launched an Android application which aims to simplify and boost Mobile Hotel Search by way of its advanced database and rapid loading speed. Only the most important data is included - the Google android user still gets all the details they require, but their smartphone is not cluttered with a bunch of unnecessary features. Straightforward, well performed hotel search with the support of a superior repository of prices and rooms is what the HotelSweep mobile app for Google android is centered on.
The great majority of small B&Bs keep their best costs for their own web pages and are not listed on the major sites like Expedia. But many of these establishments, especially independent B&Bs, simply have no idea how to boost their visibility or don't want to pay out listing fees. HotelSweep goes direct to the establishment's website, extracts the appropriate data and informs the proprietor who has the opportunity to modify the data independently.
"HotelSweep is a win-win package for users who want a wide selection and the best prices and for independent hotel, guesthouse and B&B owners who receive increased internet visibility at no cost - just what the hotel industry needs going into 2012," explains Chris Doman, co-founder of HotelSweep.
Our hotel search marketplace has always been competitive but new start-ups are appearing more rapidly than any other time. Newcomers to the market include Room77 and Mobissimo, each with its own take on hotel search. Well-known chains like Marriott & Hilton have also teamed up to create the new booking service RoomKey.com in a second attempt at reaching out to tourists directly. And in July 2011, Google unveiled Hotel Finder that is developing into a significant competitor in the hotel search engine sector.
"Newcomers & incumbents alike need to get creative and differentiate themselves to guarantee a chance of gaining and keeping market share," said Richard Lewis. "A combination of a fast, simple user interface with the sophisticated hotel 'deep search' functionality that embraces independent hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs is what makes HotelSweep unique in the market. We anticipate that the good results will speak for themselves."
