Choice Hotels Scraper — hotels, rates & ratings from choicehotels.com

Scrape Choice Hotels (choicehotels.com) hotel data from any city or brand search page — name, brand, full address, coordinates, star rating and review count, amenities, images, and the current "from" nightly rate including the member price and discount. One search URL returns every hotel in the area in a single request. Clean JSON/CSV out.

About the rates: the price fields are Choice's current starting rate (the "from $X / night" figure shown on the search page for a default one-night stay). They are not quotes for specific check-in/check-out dates or guest counts — Choice only prices those through a separate, bot-protected API this actor doesn't use. Great for tracking how starting rates move over time; not a dated-availability quote engine. See the FAQ.

Why use this scraper?

• Whole city in one request — a single search page returns all hotels within an auto-expanding radius (often 40+), each fully detailed. No page-by-page crawling.
• Rates with member pricing — the current starting nightly rate, member rate, discount percentage, plus taxes and fees, all in the output (not date-specific — see the note above).
• Every Choice brand — Comfort, Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Econo Lodge, Rodeway Inn, Ascend, Cambria, WoodSpring, and more. Filter to one brand or scrape them all.
• Built-in filters — narrow results by brand, amenities (pool, free breakfast, EV charging…), pet-friendly, minimum rating/reviews, and max nightly price — all without extra requests.
• Rich structured data — coordinates, star rating + review count, coded amenities as readable labels, and image galleries.
• Bot-protection handled — browser-grade TLS via impit, residential proxy support, and automatic IP rotation when a challenge is detected.
• Flexible input — paste search URLs or build them from { state, city } locations.

Overview

Give the actor Choice Hotels search-results URLs (or locations to build them). For each, it fetches the search page, reads the hotel data Choice inlines in the page, and returns one clean row per hotel — identity, location, rating, amenities, images, and pricing. Overlapping searches are de-duplicated by hotel.

Supported inputs

Input	Example	Result
City search URL	https://www.choicehotels.com/california/los-angeles/hotels	all hotels in/around the city
Brand-filtered URL	https://www.choicehotels.com/california/los-angeles/comfort-inn-hotels	one brand in the city
Facet URL	.../los-angeles/pet-friendly-hotels	facet-filtered hotels
Location object	{ "state": "texas", "city": "austin" }	built into a city search URL
Location + brand	{ "state": "texas", "city": "austin", "brand": "sleep-inn" }	brand search URL
Single-hotel URL	.../comfort-inn-hotels/ca785	auto-collapsed to the city search

Use cases

• Rate & competitive intelligence — track starting nightly rates and member discounts across a market or brand.
• Travel aggregators & meta-search — feed a hotel inventory with pricing, ratings, and amenities.
• Market research — brand footprint, average ratings, and amenity coverage by city or state.
• Lead lists — build a directory of hotels (name, address, coordinates) for a region.
• Price monitoring — schedule the actor and diff the starting rates over time to watch how they trend.

How it works

1. Fetch — each search URL is requested with browser-grade impit TLS through a residential proxy.
2. Extract — the hotel dataset Choice inlines in the search page is parsed directly (no per-hotel page fetch — the detail pages carry no extra data and are bot-walled).
3. Map — each hotel becomes a clean, flat record: identity, address, geo, rating, amenities, images, and rates.
4. Dedupe — hotels repeated across overlapping search radii are collapsed by hotel code.
5. Push — one dataset row per hotel, JSON or CSV.

Filters

Choice Hotels applies its on-site filters (brand, amenities, rating, price) through a bot-protected API rather than the search page itself, so this actor replicates them against the scraped results — you still get exactly the hotels that match, they're just filtered after extraction:

• brands — pick one or more Choice brands (Comfort Inn, Sleep Inn, Cambria, …).
• amenities — list keywords; a hotel is kept only if it has all of them. Each keyword matches an amenity when every word appears in it, so free breakfast matches "Free Hot Breakfast" and ev charging matches "EV Charging Station".
• petFriendly — only hotels that explicitly allow pets.
• minRating / minReviews — drop low-rated or sparsely-reviewed hotels.
• maxPrice — cap by the starting nightly rate (after taxes/fees).

Filters combine with AND, and are applied before the maxItems cap so the cap counts hotels you actually wanted. Every result still carries the full amenities, ratingValue, brandName, and rate fields, so you can also post-filter downstream.

Note: dates and guest counts still can't be filtered — those live only behind Choice's bot-walled pricing API (see the FAQ).

Locations format: each line is City, State (e.g. Austin, Texas or Los Angeles, CA), optionally City, State, Brand (e.g. Miami, Florida, Comfort Inn). Every line becomes a city search that returns all hotels in that area.

FAQ

How many hotels do I get per search URL? All hotels within the search radius, which auto-expands to fill results — often 40+ from a single city page. Set maxItems to cap billing.

Why are phone and description null? Choice Hotels does not include those on its search pages (only on the bot-walled per-hotel detail API), so the actor surfaces the fields as null rather than fetching an unreliable extra page. Everything else — address, geo, rating, amenities, rates — is present.

Do I need a proxy? Yes, a residential proxy is strongly recommended and the default. Choice Hotels uses Akamai bot protection that flags datacenter IPs quickly; the actor rotates the residential IP automatically when it detects a challenge.

Can I set check-in / check-out dates or guest counts to get dated pricing? No. Choice Hotels' search page always renders the current starting rate for a default one-night stay — it does not re-price the page for dates, guests, or amenity filters passed in the URL. Those filters are applied by a separate, bot-protected pricing API that this actor intentionally does not use. So the rate fields are a live "from $X / night" figure, not a quote for a specific stay. If you need dated, per-guest availability quotes, that's a different (heavier) build — reach out via the Issues tab to discuss.

Do amenity / pet-friendly / "top-rated" filters work? Those are applied by the same bot-protected API, not by the search page itself, so the actor returns the full hotel set for the city regardless. You can filter the results yourself on the amenities, ratingValue, and brandName fields in the output, or narrow the input to a single brand.

Which brands are covered? All Choice Hotels brands appear on the all-brands city page; use a brand-filtered URL (e.g. /comfort-inn-hotels) or the brand location field to narrow to one.

Support

• Issues tab — fastest way to report a problem or request a field; I usually respond within 24 hours.
• The actor self-reports failed runs to me automatically, so breakages are often being fixed before you write in.
