google-hotel-finderGoogle’s Hotel Finder, which launched in June 2011, is now available on mobile devices.

Google said all you need to do is go to www.google.com/hotels directly on your smart phone and search for your destination. Listings will come up almost immediately, giving you the ability to filter the search results by price, hotel class, user rating and distance. Each hotel listing page will show you photos, hotel amenities, reviews and its location on a map.

Google will also let you book the hotel directly through the site using Google Wallet or your credit card.

Google said availability is currently available in the U.S. for stays within the country. But Google added that they “hope to expand more broadly soon.”
