Sadly that list doesn't answer the most important questions - do they have availability for a particular date, and at what price

- lotsofpulp 7y agoRoomkey.com has that information for all the major hotel brands, and it’s owned by the hotel brands themselves.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoI recognize roomkey.com from various Clojure related blog posts and interesting tech talks iirc. https://cognitect.com/roomkey-case-study.html https://cognitect.com/roomkey-case-study.html https://techblog.roomkey.com https://techblog.roomkey.com
- Gibbon1 7y agoHotels have this thing where you can call and a human will pick up and you can ask them questions. Like do they have a room available.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoImagine being able to go to one website, entering a location and dates, and seeing availability and prices all in the one place.
- Gibbon1 7y agoImagine much of it is dark patterns and bullshit.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoYou might have a point there ;) So you ring the hotel and the person who answers, if they’re worth their salt, tells you there’s only one room left / there’s a big convention on in town / everywhere else is likely fully booked out, and closes the sale.
- Gibbon1 7y agoI've called, been told no rooms, and then told that some other hotel has a room. Or told that someone canceled 15 minutes ago.
