Challenge Details

Implement a search result list for hotels

• Use a .NET tech stack and C#.
• When the user clicks the Load Hotels button, the data for the hotels should be received from the API endpoint with an AJAX call.
• If the request was successful, show a list of hotels and associated data.
• If not, show an appropriate error message
• When the user clicks on a Show Reviews button, the reviews should be loaded for this specific hotel.
• Show the reviews in a list below the hotel information, but inside the hotel item container.
• Your results page should use web design best practices.
• Each call to the Fake Hotel API should be logged in a database.
  • Provide a sql script to create the database and table structure.
  • Each log entry should include which endpoint was called (hotels or reviews), when it was called, and the count to items returned if successfull, and error message if unsuccessful
• Use xUnit v2 to create any necessary Unit tests.

API endpoint

The required hotel data is available via the Fake Hotel API. All needed documentation is published on http://fake-hotel-api.herokuapp.com/

Additional requirements

Should run without errors on current versions of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, and Microsoft Edge. HTML should be valid for current HTML5 standards. Responsive behavior is not requested, but feel free to be creative!
