Perhaps We Should Just Call This New Booking Feature PricelineTonight?
A good sign that you've gone and created something useful and effective? You've got copycats which is what HotelTonight is dealing with today as hotel discounter Priceline has announced their newest mobile booking feature--Tonight-Only Deals.
Tonight-Only Deals let travelers book last-minute hotel rooms for that night at Priceline's deeply discounted rates (although no cancellations are allowed and your card is charged immediately.) Multiple night bookings are allowed too.
The deals open at 11am (HotelTonight opens at noon) and are good for hotels in 34 cities. And yes, you can see which hotels they are. No blind booking here with Tonight-Only Deals. Rooms can be booked as late as 11pm or until they sell out. (HotelTonight actually allows you to book until 2am so they've got the upper hand here.)
And lastly, much like HotelTonight when it first launched the Tonight-Only Deals from Priceline are only available on the Hotel and Car Rental Negotiator app for the iPhone. It's free to download from the iTunes store but again, if you're a Droid user, you're out of luck. For now, anyways.
While we still think HotelTonight's last-minute deals are better cultivated--we like their Hip, Elegant and Basic categories--we guess we can't complain too much about another app that is giving us steep discounts on hotel rooms.
