How to find the best hotel deals in California

Want to use the same magic that powers our award-winning flight search to find the best room rates on the internet? Here are a few tips to help you search and save in seconds.

How to find the best hotel deal in California

  • Booking flights with us is as easy as it gets, right? Well, the same search engine can also help you find bargain prices on California hotels. Check out these hacks to secure the best prices fast.

  • Save on your California hotel and get first pick of what's on offer when you book early. You'll also have more time to weigh your options and choose the ideal place.

  • Still, be ready to jump on any last-minute offers. Some places drop their rates right before arrival to fill empty rooms. This is more likely to happen on quieter days or outside the busy season, though.

  • Stay flexible with your dates to unlock better rates. Search for hotels in different seasons or months. Even going during the week (instead of weekends) can lead to huge savings.

  • Avoid the risk of extra fees by searching for stays with free cancellation. If your plans change or a better offer shows up, you can cancel or modify your booking without penalty.

When to go to California

  • Consider your ideal weather conditions when deciding your travel dates. With maximum highs of 30ºC (86ºF), July offers the warmest conditions.

  • You can expect lows of -10ºC (14ºF) during January, the coolest time of year.

  • To enjoy mostly clear skies, search for California hotels during September. With an average of seven days of rain, this is the driest month.

  • The wettest time of year is January. Go then and you can expect to get around 13 days of rainfall.
