Navigation Nightmare!

This would be a great app it wasn’t so hard to navigate. There’s no options for sharing a hotel listing that I could find. Not able to go back or forward from the hotel you were previously looking at, the web browser navigation is better than in the app. Also it would be helpful to be able to have a waiting list option if there were cancellations. Needs some fixes and then it would be a great app!

Great site, terrible interface

It’s a great fight, but once you find a room there is no ability to go back to searching again because there is no back button. You have to get out of the app completely. It’s so annoying I’m such an easy fix.

Impossible to navigate app

I'll keep this short. When searching for a room, the app makes it impossible to switch between properties to compare. This is a red flag for me as to the authenticity of the site. I hope this company hasn't hacked me.

Easy and actually legit

I noticed there aren’t any recent reviews so I wanted to make sure to leave one for 2025. I booked through the app for a long layover in Nashville. I had zero problems checking in. The front desk found the reservation and checked me in no problem! The app worked great and it was so smooth. Will 100% be using this again!

Great deals and point system. Trash app.

The app is so glitchy. They’re leaving money on the table! Works well on desktop but if I’m mobile I often use Dayuse because the HotelsByDay app is glitchy and impossible!
