Room 77

Room 77 offers the most advanced hotel shopping experience on the Web today by allowing travelers to simultaneously compare pricing across every major online travel agency and more, shop across a variety of room types, and book more than 200,000 hotel rooms worldwide.

Unlike other travel sites, Room 77 doesn’t stop at the booking. Travelers booking 4- or 5-star hotels, or stays totaling more than $400 on Room 77 get access to a complimentary Room Concierge who utilizes Room 77’s proprietary RoomMatch technology to identify the best rooms for each traveler then works directly with the hotel to score one of those rooms for the guest.

Room 77 is the first travel website to reveal hotel data down to the room number, including important details like square footage, bed type, distance from elevator and whether its adjoining or not. This proprietary database is a core asset to Room 77’s search platform that creates a powerful foundation to transform the hotel shopping and booking processes.

With the all new Room 77, travelers have access to a host of new features, including:

  • Grid View: Room 77’s unique grid view instantly compares prices for multiple hotel room categories at once, not just the lowest priced, to make it easier to evaluate value.
  • List View: Travelers can compare real-time prices across major travel sites directly in the search results to quickly evaluate options in a single search and then choose where to book, either on Room 77 or a partner site.
  • Enhanced Filters: Consumers can refine a hotel search based on unique hotel and room criteria, such as view type, free Wi-Fi, free parking, free breakfast and free airport shuttle in addition to common filters, such as price, star ratings, location, and amenities.
  • Room Intelligence: Room 77 has incorporated its patent-pending technology and in-depth room IQ into the new experience, including: o RoomView technology, which simulates the actual view from each hotel room using patent-pending 3D mapping technology; o “Heard in the Lobby” insider tips for thousands of hotels across the globe. iPhone and Android users can benefit from Room 77’s RoomMatch and RoomView technology while on the go. Simply enter the room number the front desk clerk offers, and Room 77’s app will instantly advise whether to “take it or leave it.” Mobile users can also contribute to Room 77’s growing database by sharing photos or rating and reviewing the specific room.
