Available for free on Android or iOS and with properties in major cities around the country, it offers bookings between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. When you only need a room for a few hours during the day, there\u2019s no sense in paying for a full overnight stay. Here are a few scenarios in which an intraday stay might be just the thing you need.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When You Don\u2019t Want to Spend a Long Layover in a Crowded Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019re on your way home or to your travel destination, and you have a long connection layover before your second flight. You can spend these hours with your luggage in a subpar airport bar or unwind and stretch out on a luxury hotel bed. Hotels By Day has partnered with hotels to make these intra-day booking scenarios easily accessible \u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelandleisure.com\/blogs\/long-layover-the-hotelsbyday-app-will-book-you-a-daytime-stay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">around 34 percent of 3-to-5 star hotel rooms aren\u2019t used during the day<\/a>\u2014so you won\u2019t be hurting for options. And if you decide to ride it out at the airport, cancellations are available.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When You Want to Work in a Quiet Environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Business trips can be stressful and overscheduled with insufficient time. Often, a traveler will settle for \u201cwhatever works\u201d when looking for a place to get some last-minute tasks complete before the evening meeting. But countless things can go wrong if you head for the nearest Starbucks to knock some items off your to-do list: long lines, all the tables near outlets taken up, the music could be too loud, or the Wi-Fi could be spotty. You leave without accomplishing anything and more frazzled than before.<\/p>\n<p>With packed schedules, there\u2019s never a guarantee that things will go according to plan. Hotels By Day allows you to choose a better alternative with affordable rates set for a daytime experience. There\u2019s no need to choose between a potentially crowded and disruptive coffee shop and overspending on a room for the night. With Hotels By Day, you can have your cake and eat it too.

However, what can be controlled is how we adapt to them. Sometimes inclement weather cancels your flight and leaves you stranded in a city without the means to get home.
