Customer Reviews

Works great, sometimes (3 stars)
This app is great when in a major city, but if you're in a smaller town it often times won't show hotels in that town, but instead will give suggestions 60-90 miles away, forcing me to the website, or phone calls to hotels found in google maps instead.

I can live with that limited functionality, but the real weakness is the inability to log in to our orbitz.com account to use saved info to reserve a room. This would be much easier

Very Useful and Quick (4 stars)
Great app. Used to plan a multi-city trip. App provides good comparison info along with useful filters and direct access to maps.

Good for finding, but not booking. (2 stars)
I've yet to be able to actually book through this app. It continually says it's unable to fulfill due to a network error. So I use Safari from the same network and it works. The map feature really helps select your hotel. Fix it so you can reliably book and 5 star.
