Google Flight Finder + Hotel Finder
Anyone used Google Flight Finder yet? It's new and restricted to flights within the US at the moment.

The user interface looks awesome. Clean and super quick to use. http://www.google.com/flights/
Google Hotel Finder, launched a while back and still restricted to US destinations also looks cool. I like the Google Maps option. Being able to see where all the hotels are located on one map is one of the reasons I use Agoda. http://www.google.com/hotelfinder/

Re: Google Flight Finder + Hotel Finder
Is someone catching up with booking.com which I've been using for a long time ?
Night Tours integrated ...
Example:

From the Bangkok Night Tours map to a Bangkok Hotel:
http://www.booking.com/hotel/th/the-swi ... el=mapajax
to popup maps.

Re: Google Flight Finder + Hotel Finder
I know... I already use Agoda, which also has Google Maps integrated.
The problem with online booking agents like Agoda and your Booking.com is their maps only list hotels, which have a a listing with them. So if you're looking for hotels in a certain area and ONLY rely on Agoda or Booking.com's maps you'll miss a lot options.
For example, I notice a whole bunch of the Starwood Hotels (Le Meridien, St Regis, Westin etc.) aren't listed in Agoda.
Google is just a "hotel finder" not a "booking agent". It should list all hotels regardless of who they have contracts with, which should make it a better starting point for accommodation searching...
