Frequently asked questions
Hotel Tonight scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. A Connectivity API for pushing rates and pulling reservations exists but is granted only to certified channel managers like SiteMinder and Cloudbeds. The docs portal at api-docs.hoteltonight.com sits behind a partner login with no self-serve signup.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Hotel Tonight (HT) is a mobile-first online travel agency specializing in last-minute, same-day, and short-window hotel bookings.
Vertical: misc (closest Supergood neighbor is POS/Hospitality, but the product is a consumer OTA, not a vendor-facing operations system). Target market is two-sided. A traveler whose meeting in Chicago runs late opens the HT app at 9pm, sees a curated list of ~15 downtown hotels with one-tap nightly prices, and books a 4-star property for ~30% off the rack rate in three taps using Apple Pay.
HT is a recognizable brand in the US mobile-travel space (downloaded tens of millions of times since 2010, top-50 travel app on iOS in major markets) but it is a niche product inside a category dominated by Booking Holdings (Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, Kayak) and Expedia Group (Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Hotwire, Orbitz, Travelocity).
Minimal for any vendor Supergood would target. Hotel Tonight is a distribution channel, not a system of record.
Founded in 2010 in San Francisco by Sam Shank, Jared Simon, and Chris Bailey. iOS app launched December 2010; Android app added later; web booking added years after the mobile-first launch.
No public developer API, third parties have no documented way to read HT inventory, prices, or bookings programmatically. API documentation portal at api-docs.hoteltonight.com is gated behind a username/password login with no self-serve signup or public schema. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, Agoda, Hotwire. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
