How to book a hotel with Travelocity

Make your hotel booking in a few straightforward steps with Travelocity's handy search wizard. Simply enter your destination, travel dates, and number of adult and child travelers into the search bar. You can then compare hundreds of hotel deals within seconds. Take advantage of the convenient search filters to find your right-fit accommodation, whether that's a hotel by theme parks in Orlando or an all-inclusive hotel overlooking the lake in Chicago. The “family-friendly” filter is especially useful for pinning down hotels that'll welcome you and your clan. Then, when you've found the right place for you, click through to book.

The best time to book a hotel

You could score some of the cheapest hotel deals by booking in advance, especially if you're traveling during typically busier times such as spring break, summer vacation, and the holidays. When you make your hotel booking can also make a difference if it’s during a slow sales period— for example, you could book a discounted hotel in November and December when everyone is busy thinking about Thanksgiving and the holidays—and not about their next family vacation. If you get a sudden urge to whisk your family away for a spur-of-the-moment trip, Travelocity has great deals for last-minute hotels, too.

How to find cheap hotels

You could save on a hotel by considering traveling during off-peak periods when there is less demand for accommodation. Planning your well-deserved getaway during popular times of year? Look for hotels that are just outside of the most popular areas, but close enough for you to easily swing by the main sights. You'll often find that hotels in lesser-known areas are cheaper, plus you'll have the added benefit of fewer crowds. This is where Travelocity's “neighborhood” search filter comes in handy. Hotels with a lower star rating are usually cheaper, too, so if you’re happy to forgo some of the bells and whistles, use our filter to find and book 3 and 4-star hotels instead of 5-star hotels. 

How to find some of the best hotel deals 

Some of the best ways to find hotel deals on Travelocity are by using the maximum price filter, sorting the results by price, and looking out for the green savings tag.

Do hotels come with free cancellation on Travelocity? 

Many hotel deals on Travelocity come with free cancellation, so if your plans suddenly change, you could get a full refund. That said, every hotel is different, so be sure to double-check the cancellation policy before you make your hotel booking. There's also a “free cancellation” search filter to help you on your hunt for your ideal hotel.
