Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool, accessible via the app, allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're kept up to date on price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel’s location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Long Beach hotel. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value.
