Have you used sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, and Tripadvisor, but always been frustrated by the fact that you can’t use a map overlay to see how much certain hotels are in what locations? RoomAtlas might be able to help.

The site is basically a mashup of these three travel sites overlayed on Google Maps. You are able to search by date, star rating, and ammenities, and then filter by price (with price ranges color coded). And it’s pretty accurate. Here’s a screenshot of one of my favorite places to visit – Traverse City, Michigan.

From a frugality perspective this is great because if you need to stay within a certain area, you can zoom in and out and find the lowest priced hotels in that area. There are just those times when you travel and are not willing to sacrifice location, but still want to be as frugal as possible. RoomAtlas definitely helps with that.
