Answer “where should I stay?” on your own page.
A Hotel Maps Pro map shows every hotel and rental near your venue, priced for your event dates, so attendees don’t have to go looking.
A free event accommodation tool, for every event you run.
There are no paid plans and nothing to upgrade to. Event organisers can create as many accommodation maps as they like, with every feature switched on.
How is it free? We earn a commission from the booking site when one of your attendees books. Your attendees pay the booking site’s usual price.
