WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CLC Lodging, a leading negotiator of workforce lodging rates, is pleased to announce that its Hotel Locator app for Android® is now available to CLC customers free of charge through the Google Play® store.

By offering an easy-to-use hotel search tool using Android's® built-in GPS capability to instantly map CLC hotels to a traveler's current location, CLC hopes to ease the busy business travel life for its customers.

Our iPhone® app, also introduced this year, has been very well received and we are excited to provide our Android® equipped travelers with the same instant mapping capability."
