- providing on observation store with observations, each observation identifying a hotel, a stay, a rate, and an observation date;
receiving a request for rate information for a desired hotel for a desired stay;
retrieving a current rate for the desired hotel for the desired stay;
analyzing the observations of the observation store to identify a deal rating for the desired hotel for the desired stay at the current rate; and

Abstract
A hotel deal system provides an observation store with observations that identify a hotel, a stay, a room type, a room rate, and observation date. The hotel deal system receives a request for rate information for a desired hotel for a desired stay. The hotel deal system retrieves current room rate information for the desired hotel for the desired stay. The hotel deal system then analyzes the observations of the observation store to identify a deal rating for the desired hotel for the desired stay at the current room rate.

13. A computer-readable medium embedded with instructions for controlling a computing device to identify a deal rating of a current rate for a desired hotel for a desired stay, by a method comprising:
-
providing on observation store with observations, each observation identifying a hotel, a stay, a rate, and an observation date; analyzing the observations of the observation store to identify the deal rating for the desired hotel for the desired stay at the current rate, the deal rating based on a historical average of rates for similar hotels to the desired hotel for the desired stay, a long-term historical average of rates for the desired hotel for the desired stay, and a short-term historical average of rates for the desired hotel for the desired stay; and outputting an indication of the identified type of deal for the desired hotel for the desired stay at the current rate. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for presenting deal ratings for hotel stays, comprising:
-
a component that receives from a user a request for rate information for a desired hotel for a desired stay; a component that sends to a server an indication of the desired hotel and a desired stay wherein the server retrieves a current rate for the desired hotel and the desired stay, identifies a deal rating for the current rate for the desired hotel and the desired stay based on an analysis of observations identifying a hotel, a stay, a rate, and an observation date, and provides a display page indicating the identified deal rating; and a component that receives from the server a display page indicating the identified deal rating and displays the received display page to the user. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
