Cheap Hotel Deal Sites
Some sites do not simply list rates, they build the discount into the product. That covers opaque bookings where you see the neighborhood and the star rating but not the hotel name until you pay, members-only flash sales that run for a few days, and marketplaces where a traveler resells a room they can no longer use. Discounts of 30 to 60 percent off the public rate are normal, and the trade-off is flexibility, since many of these rates cannot be changed or refunded. Read the cancellation line before you enter a card. We rank on how deep the discounts go, how clear the terms are, and how often good rooms show up.
