CenteredInn

Find the best hotel to stay at the center of all your favorite points of attraction!

Our motivation behind this project is to benefit those who love to travel but often have to spend a lot of unnecessary time trying to find the perfect hotel or inn that is close to everything.

Using Amadeus's Travel Innovation Sandbox, CenteredInn enables users to browse through a list of spots of interest according to their choice of a destination city. Then the users may check all the attractions they want to visit and the web app will generate a list of hotels ranked on the number of attractions they are in close proximity with. The web page also features a dynamic google map that marks the places of interest as well as hotel locations. The Firebase realtime database makes it easy for users to sign up or login instantly to start searching for the most "centered" hotel or inn.

The project is still a crude prototype, with only an outline of the functionality we would like implemented. Future development opportunities can include a more secure and extensive user account support system, better user interface design, incorporation with other travel apis to create a one-stop travel planning experience, etc. Due to the fact that this was done within a day or two, there are many parts where we rushed through and basically hacked around the code. For future development, these problems must be addressed and our project structure must be reorganized.
