4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in California

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit California is in January, November, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. To truly appreciate the state's remarkable landmarks, historical sites, and stunning natural attractions, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 days. This will allow you to explore the rich cultural heritage and iconic locations without straining your finances, making your trip great value for money. During these months, hotel rates may drop, offering an even more affordable opportunity to experience the beauty and diversity of California.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: In California, you may discover big savings on hotels by exploring the Dealsopens in new window section on Hotels.com. For last-minute getaways, head to the Last-Minute Deals area, where discounted rates could be available near your travel dates. To enhance your search, utilise the Smart Shopping tool via the app, which allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see opportunities for savings. Additionally, enabling email alerts or push notifications will keep you updated on any flash sales or special promotions.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your Californian hotel stay. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels might offer a more personalised touch and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. Should the price appear higher, we may suggest alternative dates that could offer a more attractive rate.
  4. Consider your location: Staying in the heart of major Californian cities often brings the advantage of convenience and easy access to local attractions, yet this prime location typically comes at a premium price. In contrast, smaller towns and rural areas are generally more likely to be affordable, presenting a viable option for budget-conscious travellers. While opting for accommodation outside the city centre may lead to better rates, it could necessitate additional travel to reach key points of interest. Alternatively, exploring nearby cities that offer an array of experiences can be a wise choice, as they tend to provide a more budget-friendly stay without sacrificing the opportunity to enjoy the region’s attractions.
