Hotel search is becoming increasingly like a visit to a theme park - exciting, and with plenty of variety. This has its advantages, but the circus of competing Hotel Search engines, each with their own creative (and often complex) take on how to help a traveler find the right room for the night can appear to some to be overwhelming. This can be seen with organizations like Hipmunk and Room77, which are largely visually based - featuring detailed price gradient maps, room-view previews and a host of other toys.

Granted, these are advances in hotel search technology - but we must ask an important question. Are these flashy features actually going to help the average hurried traveler get what they want in terms of a room, as quickly as possible?

There is a need for advanced Hotel Search technology to focus on providing the best value, lowest priced results quickly, with as few steps as possible between the initial search and the right room being booked. Hotelsweep, a new Hotel Search Engine which boasts superior information extraction technology and a highly diversified hotel database, may just have the answer. The logic behind HotelSweep is simple - a better database of hotels and prices will lead to a better, faster search experience and a satisfied user.

The issues surrounding speed and usability are only intensified when we make the transition to the mobile smartphone format. There are a large number of Android users on the go, who won't want to navigate through complicated (albeit impressive) maps and diagrams - they take longer to load, and there are more steps involved than there should be between search and booking.

Again, HotelSweep hopes to come to the rescue of Android owners on the road and in search of a cheap, high quality value room in a Hotel, Guesthouse or B&B. It's just launched an Android app which aims to simplify and improve Hotel Search using its advanced database and lightning fast loading speed. Only the most relevant information is included - the Android user still gets all the details they need, but their screen isn't cluttered with a plethora of frankly unnecessary options. Simple, well executed hotel search with the backup of a superior database of rooms and prices is what the HotelSweep mobile app for Android is all about.
