Overview
- The feature, which launched Friday, lets signed-in users track a specific hotel and get email alerts when rates change for their chosen dates.
- It is live for English and Spanish users on desktop and mobile through Google Search and Google Hotels.
- To turn it on, users scroll to the "Track this hotel" toggle under Overview or Prices on desktop and under Prices on mobile.
- Alerts pull prices from hotel sites and online travel agencies with no channel filter, which can frustrate travelers who book direct to earn points and keep elite perks.
- Google says it emails only when prices drop "significantly" without defining that threshold, and it is promoting related tools like AI itinerary planning, Ask Maps suggestions, and Wallet flight updates.
