18plushotels.in, a hotel search site, has introduced a Nearby Hotels feature, enhancing the experience for young travellers in the US by utilising geo-location technology to display hotels that allow 18+ check-ins.

This solution, predominantly influenced by insurance and liability issues, provides those aged 18 to 20 years with dependable choices when arranging travel.

The new feature simplifies the hotel search process by eliminating the requirement to input a city or zip code, instead showcasing nearby hotels with verified check-in policies.

18plushotels.in founder Tomas Mazowski said: "Our goal is to make hotel booking simpler for young travellers.

"The ‘Nearby’ feature gives them confidence that the hotels they see are not only close by but will actually let them check in."

The functionality, which operates on both desktop and mobile browsers, builds upon the platform's existing services, which include curated listings of hotels in major cities in the US. The site is continuously expanding to include more destinations.

Since its inception, 18plushotels.in has aimed to bridge a service gap in the travel industry by providing verified age policies for each listed property.

The site focuses on streamlining the booking process.

With this addition of the geo-location feature, users are set to find suitable accommodation much faster.
