Recently they've blocked selecting a hotel's address. I do so to look at the area or public transport options on Google Maps, but I guess too many people look up the hotel website from there and book directly.

- netsharc 11mo agoSheesh, yeah, sure, but that's some extra annoying steps, at least on desktop. One could also open the DevTools, Ctrl-F for part of the address, and copy it from the HTML source...
