13 of the Best Travel Apps That Will Make Your Vacations a Breeze

For the last-minute travel planner, Hotel Tonight will connect you with jaw-dropping discounts on empty hotel rooms. Although the name sounds like it can only be used for day-before bookings, discounts can be found up to a month in advance.

The app really shines by brilliantly organizing hotel information in easy-to-read sections, helping you decide quickly which hotel is best for you. The "How We Stack Up" section visually shows you Hotel Tonight's cost compared to other booking engines. The "Why We Like It" section gets to the point in four sentences or fewer, detailing why it thinks the hotel is hip, a great value, or worth the extra money. Key amenities are bullet-pointed so you can quickly see if they have a pool or if they're dog friendly.
