Why is BookDirect better than a simple hotel directory?

Static hotel directories are difficult to use: listings are often in alphabetical order and you can't see pricing or availability for the dates of your stay. In BookDirect - a hotel search engine - guests enter check-in and check-out dates and see what's available for the dates of their stay. Once on the results page, they can sort by name or price, filter by amenities or look for hotel locations on a map. All of this leads to a much quicker answer to the primary question: "where should I stay when I come to your market?"
