Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to remain informed about flash sales and special promotions, increasing your chances of securing the best hotel deal. The Smart Shopping feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're updated on availability and potential price drops, so you can seize a last-minute getaway.
