Here's a hotel deal that benefits all of us in Asia-Pacific (or travelling to Asia-Pacific)! If you are planning on a staycation, this is one deal you should not miss! This is not an application for you to plan for hotel stays in advance but it is especially useful for staycation-goers like myself who do not generally commit until the last minute.
