HotelXray: Compare Marriott Rates, Awards and Upgrades at a Glance
HotelXray adds Marriott alongside Hyatt. Compare cash rates, Bonvoy points, room upgrades, club lounges and award alerts in one Chrome side panel.
Last updated
HotelXray now supports Marriott alongside Hyatt, and later added Hilton and IHG. The same Chrome extension brings cash rates, points comparisons, club lounge details, and alerts to marriott.com. Existing Hyatt users can enable Marriott access in the latest version and use HotelXray on both websites.
For Marriott Bonvoy members, that means comparing dates, hotels, and room options in one side panel while browsing Marriott’s website.
Compare an entire month
On a Marriott hotel page, HotelXray brings cash rates, points prices, and cents-per-point values together in a monthly calendar. Stronger redemption values are shaded green, so dates worth a closer look stand out as results load.
Explore exact or flexible dates, then check the room and rate options for the stay you want. A lower points price on another date may make moving your trip worthwhile; an inexpensive cash rate may make saving your points the better choice.
Refresh rates whenever you need a fresh check. On-demand refreshes are free, with no quotas or credits to manage.
Compare hotels from the search page
HotelXray also works alongside Marriott search results. Compare cash and points across the hotels you’re considering without opening every listing individually.
The Club badge marks hotels with researched lounges, so you can spot them while you compare prices and locations.
Explore rooms and award options
Open a date to see individual rooms and their available rates. The Redemption filter lets you choose:
- All to see both standard and upgraded redemptions.
- Standard to focus on standard room redemptions.
- Upgraded to find upgraded rooms offered for more points or for points plus cash.
Room details show cash, full-points awards, and Points + Cash where offered. CPP compares cash and points for the same room and stay, so an upgraded room’s points price is paired with its own cash rate.
Choose your preferred cash display currency and include taxes where available.
Research club lounges before choosing a hotel
Compare the breakfast, evening food and everyday convenience a lounge adds to your stay. HotelXray’s free lounge reports cover:
- Location and opening hours
- Breakfast, including service outside the lounge
- Evening food and drinks, with extra charges called out
- Service days, guest restrictions and known closures
For example, a lounge may offer breakfast daily but evening food only on weekdays. That difference matters when you’re planning a weekend stay.
The Marriott club lounge guide explains Bonvoy lounge access, club rooms and how to decide whether access is worth the room premium.
Set rate and award alerts
When your preferred rate or award isn’t available, set an alert from a hotel result or calendar date. HotelXray can keep checking after you close the browser.
Watch for a points stay in a standard room, an upgraded room or either one, with one points budget for the stay, or watch for a cash rate below your price. Watch exact or flexible dates, or any single night within a range, and keep watching after the first match to hear about another price drop or newly available award.
Every alert includes an Alert check log showing when each check ran, what it found, and which results matched. Match emails include the stay, the qualifying rate or award, and direct booking links.
Follow one example from setup to booking in Stop Refreshing Marriott: Rate and Award Alerts That Show Every Check.

Existing users can update HotelXray to the latest version and enable Marriott access in the side panel. New users can install HotelXray, then choose the hotel programs they want before browsing the supported websites.
