# Choice Hotels Scraper (`tri_angle/choice-hotels-scraper`) Actor Scrape Choice Hotels properties (Comfort, Quality, Sleep, Cambria, Clarion, and 8 other brands) for full property details, live room rates, and guest reviews. Search by city or coordinates, or pass property URLs directly - **URL**: https://apify.com/tri\_angle/choice-hotels-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Tri⟁angle](https://apify.com/tri_angle) (Apify) - **Categories:** Travel - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 property details This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Choice Hotels Scraper Scrape hotel data from every Choice Hotels brand in a single Actor run: Comfort, Quality, Sleep, Cambria, Clarion, MainStay, Suburban, WoodSpring, Everhome, Econo Lodge, Rodeway, Ascend Hotel Collection, and Country Inn & Suites. ### What you get per property - **Property profile** - name, brand, full address, geo coordinates, phone number, description, complete amenity list, photo gallery, and check-in / check-out times - **Live room rates** - every available room type with bed type, max occupancy, nightly rate, full-stay total, taxes and fees, currency, cancellation policy, and refundability - **Guest reviews** - individual review bodies with ratings, dates, trip type, and per-category sub-ratings (cleanliness, staff service, value, safety, amenities, property condition), plus any management responses - **Aggregate guest rating** - average score and total review count, sourced directly from the hotel's listing ### How it works Provide one of: - A **destination** like "San Diego, CA" or "Times Square, New York" - **Coordinates** (latitude + longitude) with a search radius in miles - A list of **property URLs** to scrape directly, skipping search Set your stay dates and occupancy. The Actor returns one dataset row per property. ### Input fields | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `destination` | string | - | City or place name. One of destination, lat + long, or startUrls is required. | | `latitude`, `longitude` | string | - | Decimal degrees. Use with a search radius. | | `radiusMiles` | integer | 25 | Search radius around the coordinates. | | `startUrls` | array | - | Choice property URLs to scrape directly, skipping search. | | `checkIn`, `checkOut` | date (YYYY-MM-DD) | - | Required for search and for fetching room rates. | | `adults`, `children`, `rooms` | integer | 2 / 0 / 1 | Occupancy used for rate availability. | | `currency` | string | USD | Currency for returned rates. | | `includeRates` | boolean | true | Fetch room types and pricing for the stay. | | `includeReviews` | boolean | false | Fetch guest reviews per property. | | `maxProperties` | integer | 20 | Cap on the number of properties scraped per run. | | `maxReviewsPerProperty` | integer | 0 | Cap on reviews fetched per property. Set above 0 to enable. | ### Output One row per property, with nested arrays for offers and reviews. The dataset has four pre-built views in the Apify Console for quick browsing: **Property Overview**, **Room Rates**, **Guest Reviews**, and **Amenities & Policies**. Export the whole dataset or select All fields to see everything. #### Expected nulls - `offers[].availabilityCount` - Choice does not expose remaining inventory per rate - `reviews[].author` - some reviewers post anonymously - `reviews[].managementResponse` - only present when the property has replied - `reviews[].title` - optional field, varies per review Choice classifies properties by brand tier, not by stars, so there is no separate star rating field. Use `brand` for the tier classification. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: - **Property details** - charged once per property successfully retrieved - **Room rates** - charged once per property when rates are fetched - **Reviews** - charged once per individual review returned Cap `maxReviewsPerProperty` to control review spend per run. ### Limitations - **Geography:** US properties only - **Rate plans:** Public, best-available rates only. Member, AAA, senior, and government rates require a logged-in Choice Privileges session and are out of scope. - **Stay length:** Use normal stay lengths (1 to 30 nights). Multi-month stays are rejected by Choice's booking engine and will return empty room rates. ### Use cases - **Travel intelligence:** track Choice property rates over time across markets - **Market research:** survey amenity coverage, brand distribution, and guest sentiment in a region - **Hospitality benchmarking:** compare guest ratings and price positioning across Choice brands and competing chains - **Lead enrichment:** pull contact details and property profiles for sales outreach # Actor input Schema ## `destination` (type: `string`): City or place to search, e.g. "San Diego, CA". Provide this, or latitude + longitude, or Start URLs. ## `latitude` (type: `string`): Decimal degrees, e.g. "32.7157". Use with longitude instead of a destination. (String because Apify input schema has no float type.) ## `longitude` (type: `string`): Decimal degrees, e.g. "-117.1611". Use with latitude. ## `radiusMiles` (type: `integer`): Radius around the latitude/longitude to search. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Choice Hotels property page URLs to scrape directly, skipping search. ## `checkIn` (type: `string`): YYYY-MM-DD. Required for search and for rates. ## `checkOut` (type: `string`): YYYY-MM-DD. Required for search and for rates. ## `adults` (type: `integer`): Number of adults per room. ## `children` (type: `integer`): Number of children per room. ## `rooms` (type: `integer`): Number of rooms. ## `currency` (type: `string`): ISO currency code for rates. ## `includeRates` (type: `boolean`): Fetch room types and nightly/total rates per property for the stay. ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): Fetch guest reviews per property (up to the per-property cap below). ## `maxProperties` (type: `integer`): Cap on the number of properties scraped per run. ## `maxReviewsPerProperty` (type: `integer`): Cap on reviews fetched per property when Include guest reviews is on. 0 disables review fetching. ## Actor input object example ```json { "destination": "San Diego, CA", "radiusMiles": 25, "adults": 2, "children": 0, "rooms": 1, "currency": "USD", "includeRates": true, "includeReviews": false, "maxProperties": 20, "maxReviewsPerProperty": 0 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
