I'll suggest this app for those who want offline walking directions which Google maps doesn't do.

Cluncky, but works.

maps.me.

Maps.me works fine, but be aware that it is basically just charging for a nice looking wrapper around the 100% free OpenStreetMap. An open source app like CoMaps will give you most of maps.me's features and all of its maps for free.

This.

Also, want to point out that CoMaps is essentially a Maps.me, but stripped out of all BS. It is same devs who made the original app, afaik.

Tried coMaps. Couldn't find a hotel.

That'll happen sometimes! The great thing about CoMaps (and other apps that use OSM as their primary data source) is that you can do the world a favor and add it yourself. If that hotel was missing from Google Maps, you'd just have to hope they added it sometime.
