MERN Project - Hotel Booking System

This is a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) project for a Hotel Booking System. It consists of a server, client-side, and admin-side components. Users can create accounts, log in using JWT authentication, and search for hotels and book them within a range of dates. The backend utilizes bcrypt for password encryption and CORS for handling cross-origin requests, while the frontend uses Axios for making API requests.
