The exclusive selection on offer is usually tempting, and you can enjoy discounts of up to 70 percent off the usual rate. The app also includes recommendations from other users and photographs of each hotel to give you an insight into where you might be staying. You’ll find up to three special deals per city per night, and there’s nothing to lose by checking because the app is free.

If you run into any problems, customer support is available around the clock. With entries for most of the major U.S. cities, as well as a few choice selections in Canada and Europe, Hotel Tonight is well worth trying out. If you like to live life on the edge, then forget about booking in advance and trust the app to find you somewhere good. Just remember that the booking doesn’t guarantee a room or bed type so you may need to sort that out when you arrive.

This app is ideal for business travelers and city hoppers looking for a last minute bargain. You’ll find it on iOS and Android.
