They should offer an ability to type in a minimum and maximum, not just use a slider -- or to select from more than one range (say, ultra-luxury range vs. standard range).

Thanks,

Noticed today that you have changed the user interface so that it is much easier to narrow down the range of room rates when searching for accommodations. Much appreciated!
