Default Booking.com App

Anyone else use this app? I ride out several times a year either by myself or with a buddy without a destination. At lunch or in the afternoon on a gas stop I look at the map, figure out where I'll be in the evening and pull up this app to find a place to stay. Easy to make a reservation. Years back I would stop at hotels but one year I hit a lot of non-vacancy hotels after a long and extremely hot ride. I decided I needed a better process. This has worked out well. Anyone else use this or a similar app?

I use Trivago because it gives rates for hotels.com, Expedia, allthe online booking.coms and the hotel directly

TripAdvisor is another good app, also handy to find eats. Thanks to it we had loose meat sammies for lunch in Ottumwa on our last Colorado trip.

AAA Travel if I want hotels that have AAA discount.
Usually no cancellation penalty.

I use the Hotels.com app. Also the Hotel Tonight app when I’m looking for a good deal. Hotel Tonight only lists deeply discounted rooms, but they don’t post them until later in the day.

I have the AAA app but initially struggled a bit with it. Maybe I need to give it another try. I joined AAA since I ride out to nowhere by myself quite often. I should use the app. Also, we look at the other apps. I used to use TripAdvisor.com a lot but didn't realize they had a app. Learning a lot from this thread.

Been using Booking.com for three to four years now. Has never left me without a place to stay.

They've gotten into the hotel space big time lately. Mama's job is to use the app at gas stops to find food. That's how we found Canteen Lunch, It wasn't planned.

I use Booking.com exclusively. I have tried others but don’t find them any better. I booked a place in Baker City for tomorrow night, and when the search came up it showed me a place I stayed in 3 years ago. Usually I book the night before, but the place I am in tonight I booked 1/2 hour before I got into town.

Is it just me or does anyone else have issues with the actual price of room being more than the advertised price on these booking sites?

Am I doing something wrong or what???
