Right now I think most of us use the usual suspects to search for hotel deals. Well, there are a few new players in town who are making the play for your business in a big way. Two of the websites below will stay on the hunt for the best deal even AFTER you’ve booked your room! The last site helps you find the best deals on luxury hotels.
All three of these websites I’m about to share with you are new, which those in the tech world call “beta.” In our terms, “not perfect.” However, they make big promises that are worth a shot.
TRIPBAM.com
TRIPbam allows you to pick a hotel or neighborhood you want to stay in and then create a cluster of hotels around it that you’d also consider. Book the room at the place you want and then it will continue to search for better deals in your cluster. If something comes up, they will alert you and offer to rebook your room.
A warning, the user experience of this website is not pleasant due to the branding. But, if it delivers on its promise, you won’t care!
TripRebel.com
I’m not sure what this has to do with their business other than the fact that the guys who built TripRebel know good branding. There is only one function of this site. Honestly I appreciate the simplicity. You book your room THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE (very important). If the price of the room drops before you check in, they refund you the difference. Done!
Couple of things to watch out for. When you input your city on the homepage, an error message pops up. Just click passed it. When you get your rates, you’ll notice they’re in Euros. In the top right hand corner, you can change the currency to dollars.
Like I said, these sites are new so give them a chance :)
TheSuitest.com
TheSuitest is more my speed. It helps you find deals on luxury hotels and filters them by the deal you’re getting. They grade deals like homework: A, B, C, D, etc. You can also search by price of course.
