We're looking for affordable family-friendly hotels during the off-season through Priceline. What are the best tips for getting good deals?

• Priceline offers several ways to find cheap family-friendly hotels in the off-season:

Avoid school holidays, weekends, and holidays when prices are higher by changing your travel dates. Better deals are often found during the week or shoulder seasons like spring and fall. Off-season hotels may be cheaper in less popular family destinations. Searching for hidden gems or new family-friendly destinations can reveal deals.

• You can also find deals by strategically using Priceline features:

Be careful with ""Express Deals,"" which offer big discounts but require hotel details in advance. Make sure you're ready for surprises and have researched family-friendly options before booking these. The app's ""Tonight Only"" deals may offer last-minute hotel discounts of up to 35% in the off-season, but availability is limited.

• Family-friendly hostels, guesthouses, and vacation rentals are cheaper than tourist hotels and may have more space and amenities:

To save more, combine Priceline bookings with promotions, coupons, or credit card or loyalty program partnerships. Finally, include hidden fees like taxes, resort fees, and parking fees to get a more accurate total cost estimate.
