Google Hotels
This automates Google Hotels searches through browser control to pull current prices, ratings, and availability. The implementation is impressively optimized: it encodes check-in and check-out dates directly into the URL using a base64 protobuf scheme, so you can load results in three commands instead of ten. Good for comparing hotels across neighborhoods or finding options near landmarks. The source explicitly bans navigating to booking sites during search, which keeps things fast but means you're stuck with whatever Google surfaces. Works well for quick price checks, less so if you need to dig into a specific OTA's inventory or chase down that boutique hotel Google hasn't indexed yet.

Google Hotels Search
Search Google Hotels via agent-browser to find hotel prices, ratings, amenities, and availability.
When to Use
- User asks to search, find, or compare hotels or accommodation
- User wants hotel prices in a city, neighborhood, or near a landmark
- User asks about hotel availability for specific dates
- User wants the best-rated or cheapest hotel in an area
When NOT to Use
- Booking: This skill searches only — never complete a purchase
- Vacation rentals / Airbnb: Google Hotels shows hotels, not rentals
- Flights: Use the flight-search skill
- Historical prices: Google Hotels shows current prices only
- NEVER leave Google Hotels during search — do not navigate to Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, or any OTA as a search workaround. Exception: after presenting results, you MAY visit the hotel's own website for direct booking/promo checks (see Post-Search).
Session Convention
Always use --session hotels for isolation.
