Google seems to be testing showing a date picker and occupancy selector for searches related to hotel queries. I have not been able to replicate this, I have tried over the past few weeks without luck.
But Saad AK spotted this and posted about it on Twitter – here is a screenshot from his videocast:
Here are his videocasts:

I saw Date Picker Drop-Down and Guest Occupancy Picker (Drop Down) in Search.
I have never seen this before.

I asked some hotel SEOs if this was new, and they said yes:
New to me! I have not seen refinement bubbles filters for dates and nu. of guests below the search box. Both filters are part of the Hotel Local Pack though. I cannot replicate this either.

I guess this makes sense, if you are looking for a hotel, you probably want it for a specific date range.
Forum discussion at Twitter.
We all want to be satisfied, even though we know some people who will never be that way, and others who see satisfaction as a foreign emotion that they can’t hope to ever feel.
