4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Riverdale

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Riverdale is during August, September, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully appreciate the area's key landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, such as the family-friendly beach. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing visitors to explore Riverdale's rich heritage while enjoying the savings. Plus, prices may drop during these months, making it an even more budget-friendly choice.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover accommodation deals in Riverdale, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. To stay informed about potential flash sales and special last-minute promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications. With the Smart Shopping tool available in the app, you could compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to spot the best options. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to secure affordable accommodation.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at a Riverdale hotel. If you’re interested in a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may deliver better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you find the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying closer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it usually tends to come with higher costs. For more affordable rates, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the places you plan to visit. You might also look into independent hotels a bit further out, which can provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
