Nappr is a marketplace that enables people to book flexible 2 to 12-hour day rates at nearby hotels to catch up on much-needed rest and meet the demands of their unique schedules. Our network of nearly 1,050+ global hotels gives busy on-the-go professionals the opportunity to book rooms on-demand at the venues of their choice for up to 50% off the overnight rate - and with all of the amenities included. This also gives hotels the ability to fill their unused daytime inventory and generate some extra revenue with convenient, flexible scheduling. Why use Nappr? - We offer day rates at some of the world's largest hotel brands. - It's up to 50% cheaper than standard hotel rates. - We're located in over 500 cities across the world, including 50 major airports. - You get all the amenities of an overnight stay (e.g. Pool, Exercise Room, Business Center, Continental Breakfast, etc.) - It's a convenient way to take a nap! And while we think that everyone can benefit from this, these specific use cases come to mind: - Airport Layover Travelers who are exhausted from jet lag and don't want to pay for a full night's rate at a hotel in between flights. - Medical Workers, either during or after their shifts. Our research uncovered that many doctors and nurses get into car accidents while driving home tired and could really benefit from a nap. - Commuter Students who are cramming for a brutal exam and are too far from their places of residence to go home. - Office Workers who are in the middle of a brutal day and simply need a break. - Long-haul road trippers who are getting tired during a drive. - Anybody else who is exhausted and/or needs some respite. This could be somebody visiting friends/family at a hospital, a conference attendee who needs a break from all the networking mayhem, or maybe even someone who just wants to get a quick meditation session in. Happy ZzZing and take care! - The Nappr Team
