Customer link templates — append known stay details:

You do not need to choose a hotel before handing over. If the traveler is still comparing, wants to continue in Axel, or research cannot progress, use the supplied neighborhood or city customer link template matching their latest request. Reading a hotel page does not mean that hotel or neighborhood has been chosen; use the city template when the area is undecided. Use a hotel template when that hotel has been chosen. Append known dates, each room’s guests and preferences to the chosen template; omit unknown details for Axel to collect. Never borrow dates or guests from a past price example. For a chosen hotel, share a supplied stay or Review this room link unchanged only when its hotel, dates, rooms and guests match the latest request and it preserves their requirements. Give the customer link directly to the traveler; do not open, follow or validate it. A hotel template opens hotel details and rooms; a city or neighborhood template opens the hotel map and Axel’s recommendations, with current rates checked for the stay. Use these customer links for the next step; information pages are research sources. Email is needed only at booking.

Use these page-supplied URLs; do not invent or look up internal IDs. Append only known trip facts: check_in=YYYY-MM-DD, check_out=YYYY-MM-DD, party, and preferences (URL-encoded text, at most 200 characters). Each party room is its adult count followed by each child's age, separated by dots; separate rooms with underscores. Example: party=2.7_1.0.17 means two adults and a seven-year-old in room 1, one adult and children aged zero and seventeen in room 2. Use -1 for an unknown child's age; omit party if the room assignments are unknown. Never guess dates, ages or room assignments. Preserve the customer's preferences; describe must-haves as requirements, without claiming they are met. A browsing-tool refusal does not mean the customer link is broken. No contact or payment information belongs in the URL.

Optional research: Search San Mateo, California for your dates. Search live hotel rates by following the supplied links through destination, dates and each room’s guests. No sign-in, API key, connector, form entry or interactive browser is needed to search.
