I used to book hotels directly, now I only check the 'map view' on booking sites

I was paying $120 a night for a place in Denver last year. Now I zoom out on the map, find a cheaper neighborhood just one bus stop away, and save $40. Anyone have other map tricks for finding deals?

Map view is a total game changer for that. I always zoom way out along the train or tram lines going into the city center. You can find spots that are a 15 minute ride out but way cheaper, and the transit pass is still less than the hotel mark up. Also, switching the map to satellite view can show you if a "boutique hotel" is really just a motel next to a highway, which has saved me a few times.

Hey @amy154, what's your go-to site for checking transit pass costs?
