I discovered the Hotel Tonight mobile app a few months back and recently had my first opportunity to test it out! The idea behind this app is truly brilliant… basically, Hotel Tonight is a marketplace for hotels to book leftover rooms that would otherwise remain empty and give consumers great last-minute deals on awesome hotels. It’s a win-win for both the consumer and the hotels. Oh and if you need assistance, you can even tweet @hoteltonight for support <3
Although my boyfriend was a bit apprehensive about this last-minute booking option (bookings begin at 12pm)… I eased his worries by introducing him to the app a few days before and showing him some of the awesome deals for hotels in Philly.
At exactly at 12:oopm on the day we were planning to drive to Philly for the Patriots/Eagles game, I was able to book a two-night stay in a matter of minutes at the “Hip” Le Meridien hotel! Beyond the great rate offered, I also had a $50 credit towards my booking thanks to a promo code ($25) and being a first-timer ($25)… pretty sweet, right?
Not only was the hotel beautiful, their bar, Amuse, even had a Foursquare Special (which obviously won points with me ;))… Free Philly Pretzel Nuggets on your 4th Check-In :)
If you want to try it out yourself, use this link to sign up and get $25 off your first booking: http://htlnt.com/invite/vbedard
