Terms of Service for Hotels Nearest
Last Updated: November 11, 2026
Welcome to Hotels Nearest ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website hotelsnearest.com and our related mobile applications (collectively, the "Platform").
By accessing, browsing, booking a room, or listing inventory on the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
1. Overview of the Marketplace
Hotels Nearest operates an after-dark, real-time hotel marketplace connecting travelers seeking same-night accommodations with participating hotels offering unsold rooms and no-show inventory.
- Marketplace Role: Hotels Nearest acts solely as a booking intermediary and technology platform. We do not own, operate, manage, or control any hotel properties listed on the Platform.
- Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age required to check into a hotel in the property's jurisdiction) to use the Platform.
2. How Booking Works (For Travelers)
- Nightly Release Windows: Participating hotels list vacant rooms starting at 9:00 PM, and discounted rates unlock for travelers starting at 10:00 PM local time. All inventory is strictly limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis for same-night stays only.
- $0 Upfront & Pay at Check-In: You pay $0 through Hotels Nearest to reserve a room. Upon tapping to book, we transmit an instant reservation confirmation to the hotel's front desk. You must pay the full discounted room rate, plus any applicable local taxes, resort fees, or security deposits, directly to the hotel upon arrival.
- Arrival & Hold Window: Because bookings are for immediate, same-night occupancy, you agree to arrive at the hotel promptly after booking. Hotels reserve the right to release unpaid reservations if you fail to check in within their stated late-arrival cutoff window.
- Extensions & Standard Rates: Nightly discounts apply strictly to the initial overnight stay booked through the Platform. If you choose to extend your stay for additional nights, the hotel's standard daily rates and property policies will apply.
- No-Show & Abuse Policy: Because we do not require upfront payment, reserving rooms without intending to check in harms our hotel partners. We reserve the right to suspend or permanently ban accounts that engage in repeated no-shows, fake bookings, or fraudulent activity.
3. Hotel Property Rules & Cancellations
- Property Policies: Once you arrive at the hotel, your stay is governed by the individual hotel's house rules, check-out times, age requirements, and identification/incidentals policies (such as presenting a valid government-issued ID and credit/debit card at the front desk).
- Cancellations: Because reservations are made after 10:00 PM for immediate occupancy, bookings are generally final. If an emergency prevents you from arriving, you must contact the hotel front desk directly as soon as possible.
4. Terms for Hotel Partners
If you register or list rooms as a hotel manager or property owner ("Hotel Partner"), you additionally agree to the following:
- Listing & Rate Control: Hotel Partners may list vacant rooms during the nightly 9:00 PM listing window and retain full control over their floor pricing and room availability.
- Honoring Confirmed Reservations: When a traveler books a listed room on the Platform, the Hotel Partner agrees to honor the confirmed discounted rate upon the traveler's arrival and collect payment directly at check-in.
- Post-Stay Commissions: Hotel Partners pay zero upfront listing fees. Commissions are owed to Hotels Nearest only after a traveler completes their stay (unless otherwise specified in a separate signed Partner Agreement or Letter of Intent).
- Account Security: Hotel Partners are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their hotel login credentials and ensuring accurate room inventory updates.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use automated bots, scrapers, or scripts to monitor inventory, reserve rooms, or extract data from the Platform.
- Submit false personal information or make speculative reservations you do not intend to use.
- Interfere with the security, servers, or proper functioning of the Platform.
6. Intellectual Property
All content on the Platform—including the Hotels Nearest name, logos, taglines ("Nearest beds. Deepest night discounts"), software, graphics, and design—is owned by Hotels Nearest or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
- As-Is Service: The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we verify participating hotels, we do not guarantee uninterrupted Platform access, room availability, or the specific condition, amenities, or service quality of any third-party hotel.
- Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hotels Nearest shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Platform, disputes with a hotel property, or failed check-ins. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed $100 USD.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hotels Nearest, its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your conduct at a participating hotel property.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
10. Governing Law & Contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Hotels Nearest is registered, without regard to conflict of law principles.
