If you’ve ever run into the scenario of being stranded at an airport due to flight delays, or been convinced to stay “just a night longer” while visiting friends, there’s an app for spontaneous travel decisions such as these.
HotelTonight is a last-minute hotel booking app currently available in over 30 American cities and throughout most (not all) of Canada. Here’s a great solution to booking for a same-day stay. The app promises to find and book a deeply-discounted (up to 70%) room at one of the hottest local hotels for you. Sounds good so far.
Recently listed in Mashable’s 14 travel apps to download before your next adventure, here’s how the service works:
Each day at noon local time, HotelTonight releases three featured deals for that night in each city (via the free iOS and Android apps).
You can scroll through each hotel’s details and book in “just three taps and a swipe.” You’ll have until 2 am to complete the reservation, and will be able to book one to five nights at a time.
Notable hotels include Toronto’s Cosmopolitan Hotel and Thompson Toronto, and Vancouver’s Moda Hotel and Pan Pacific.
This is a great concept for visiting friends and family who are looking for a great deal and perhaps have already booked their flight weeks earlier, in order to take advantage of a cheaper fare.
