# Hotel Price Monitoring: Rate Snapshots From Google Hotels
Turn Google Hotels into a hotel price monitor. Each poll takes a destination and stay dates and returns every listed property with numeric nightly and total rates. Snapshot the run, diff it against the last one on `property_token`, and you have rate-drop alerts, competitor rate watching, or a price history for one market.
## When to use this skill
- The user wants hotel price monitoring for a destination, a set of stay dates, or specific properties.
- They want to watch competitor hotel rates (a hotelier checking the market around their property).
- They want alerts when a rate drops below a threshold before a trip or an event.
- They ask "do hotel prices go down closer to the date": monitor the same stay across days and answer with data.
Not for: one-off exports of a single search (use the scrape-hotel-prices skill), booking or reservations (the Actor is read-only), or flight fare tracking (use the Google Flights Data Scraper).
## What each snapshot returns (one object per results page)
Each dataset item is a page of results with `search_metadata` (`total_results`, `properties_count`, `pages_processed`, `pagination_limit_reached`) and a `properties` array. Per property: `name`, `type`, `rate_per_night` and `total_rate` (display `lowest` plus numeric `extracted_lowest` and before-tax variants), `overall_rating`, `reviews` count, `amenities`, `gps_coordinates`, `check_in_time`, `check_out_time`, and `property_to
