Interactive Hilton Hotel Maps

After receiving positive feedback from the Starwood maps (see this FT Thread) i have just released a similar page with Hilton Interactive Maps

How it works:
1) Enter all or part of any US or Canadian address in the text box and select a radius to search by. Click GO.
2) A map will then appear centered on your location, and all Hilton branded hotels within the radius you selected will be shown on the map
3) Put your cursor over a hotel marker to see the name of the hotel. Click a hotel marker on the map to see additional information about the hotel and for a link to check availability

This is an extension of the BetterChecker website which helps users search hotel rates across multiple brands, so this seemed like a natural fit for users who were specifically interested in just the Hilton brand of properties.

Any feedback is welcomed and if anyone has a suggestion, finds a problem, mistake, missing hotel, etc, please let us know.

Extremely cool! Nicely done.

(The Hilton Reno, though, is no longer a Hilton)

I am a comparative newbie and FlyerTalk ignorant to be sure. But, Moderators, can this thread become a sticky? Wow! I just used the links and found (3) Hiltons that had previously been unknown to me in an area I frequent. The Hilton website is so cubersome. Sigh... Thank you muchly, OP, you rock muchly. ^

nice

Thanks hereuare for a nice easy way to view the HH props. You should contact the HH gurus, offer it to them and perhaps gets a few million HH points for your efforts.

Just an observation - the geocoding for the Biltmore is off and showing about 25 miles north of where it actually is.
