Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and exclusive promotions, so you're more likely to seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, utilise Smart Shopping, a comparison tool within the app that helps you compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you can quickly book a getaway if prices drop or availability changes.
  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 having some flexibility with your travel dates could allow you to save on your stay in a hotel in Guadalajara. If you're seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value.
