Must-Know Sites + Apps for Cheap Hotel Stays

I booked my first hotel stay the same day, as the start of my trip. What I will say is the prices fluctuate, and you’ll typically get a better deal during the week. (Friday’s are considered the weekend.) I’ve learned that prices also decrease as well, one of the hotels I wanted to stay at the price actually decreased the day of my stay which surprised me. Another actually went up. I will place a disclaimer to make sure all of the totals are the same when comparning prices. Some of the taxes and fees can be a lot. For instance, I was looking into booking a stay and the daily rate was cheaper. However, once I factored in the taxes and fees, the price went up significantly. Go based off the total amount, and not just off of the daily rate. Below, I'm sharing some must-know tips for booking cheap hotel stays.

Credit Cards

Most credit card companies that offer cash back typically have hotels as an option as well to save.

Groupon
Groupon is a wonderful resource for hotel and resort stays. I’ve used them in the past, and had no issues.
AAA Membership
If you have this membership, you never know when it might come in handy. During my last hotel stay my rate was cheaper than Expedia's total due to the hotel offering a AAA membership discount.
Hotel
Visit the actual hotel site, and make sure to signup for their email list and membership if you’re looking to have them as your goto hotel.
Rakuten 
Prior to booking my stay, I make sure to go through the Rakuten site/app to see what cash back offers they’re offering.

Hotwire & Priceline
Hotwire has a deal of the day for hotels. You won’t know which deal you received until you actually booked your hotel.

Expedia
Expedia is old fateful, I’ve been using them for years. I love that I can earn points with my travel bookings.

HotelTonight (App)
I’m not sure how or when I learned about this app. However, I always check this site out, especially for last minute adventures.
