Daily deals on Hotel Tonight go live at noon local time in the city where you’re looking for a hotel that evening. At noon, your iPhone or Android will beep to let you know that today’s deals were ready. Examples might include anywhere from 5 to over 25 options (or more) in the greater New York area, Boston or LA, depending on where you are at the time and wanting the deals to show up.
You could get a $225 hotel for $95 as one example of how much you can save. Hotel Tonight categorizes hotels as hip, luxe, solid, basic, charming or appropriate for high rollers. Click on the hotel, and you get a list of amenities, such as Wi-Fi, gyms and breakfast. There’s a “Why We Like It” section. The app will not confirm what kind of room you will get until you physically check in which is a downside but if you’re just after a savings for the “night of,” its a very useful app to keep handy, particularly for last minute trips you hadn’t planned well in advance.
