Spring Travels, Hotel Stays, and My Go-To Travel Tip

This spring has been full of adventure, and with that has come a lot of time spent in hotels. I have had a lot of fun weekend getaways recently and it sure has been fun! Whether it was a last-minute decision or a carefully planned stay, one thing has made the experience so much easier and more affordable: booking with Expedia.

If you’re like me and love exploring — but also love sticking to a budget — finding a hotel that fits both your needs and your wallet can sometimes feel like a challenge. That’s why I’ve come to really appreciate using Expedia. Every time I needed a hotel — whether it was scrambling for a room the night before or planning ahead for a special trip — Expedia has come through.

One of the things I love most about it is how easy it is to compare hotel options side-by-side. I can quickly check prices, view photos, see what amenities are included (hello, free breakfast!), and choose the part of the city I want to stay in based on my plans. Having all the information laid out makes it simple to make a confident decision, especially when I’m booking in new cities or towns I haven’t explored before.

Another huge bonus? Expedia often has deals that pop up for members — a little perk that adds up over time if you travel a lot. This spring alone, I managed to save enough through discounts and deals that I was able to splurge on a few fun extras, like a nicer dinner out or a local experience I might have otherwise skipped.

Travel Tip You’ll Want to Remember

If you’re planning any travel soon — even if it’s just a quick staycation — here’s one travel tip I definitely recommend:
When you’re booking through Expedia, make sure you check for extra savings through Capital One Shopping.

Capital One Shopping is a free tool that helps find available coupons, deals, and potential price drops while you’re booking. You don’t need to be a Capital One cardholder to use it — anyone can sign up and start saving. When you’re checking out hotel options on Expedia, it’s such an easy way to see if there’s a promo code you can apply without having to hunt around the internet yourself. Honestly, it’s one of those simple hacks that can make a real difference, especially if you’re booking multiple trips or longer stays.

Making the Most of Spring and Beyond

One of my favorite parts about traveling in the spring is seeing different parts of the desert come alive. From cactus blooms to cool mornings perfect for hiking, it’s the season where every mile feels full of something special. Being able to find affordable and comfortable hotels with Expedia has meant I’ve spent less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying the journey.

If you’re gearing up for your next trip — whether it’s a road trip through Arizona, a quick getaway to a nearby national park, or a city adventure — I highly recommend giving Expedia a look. And don’t forget to run your search through Capital One Shopping before you book. It’s one of those small steps that can leave you with extra cash for the fun parts of your trip — and who doesn’t want that?

Here’s to more adventures, more memories, and maybe even a few more hotel stays along the way!
