The Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring that if rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to know and seize a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might allow you to save on your stay at a hotel in Frisco.
