I usually use Expedia as well and always found it quite accessible. Whichever app you use I suggest that you don’t wait until the last minute, download the app now, sign up and you may even want to add a credit card to make it easier when you book a place. Quite a lot of hotels you can book without prepaying, but sometimes you may get a better deal if you pay via the agency whether it’s Expedia, Booking.com or Hotels.com. You may even want to download all of the major apps like Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Kayak or Get A room and play around with them to see which one you like best, then delete the ones you don’t like. Most of these apps offer last-minute deals so Anna’s suggestion to drive and book 2 or 3 hours before you know where you end up may work out well. Lastly, if you find a hotel which seems like a good one it doesn’t hurt to call them, tell them you will be arriving soon and were about to book a room with Expedia (or whatever app you decide to use) and ask if they can give you a better rate if you make the reservation directly with them. You may find that most larger chain hotels like Best Western, Howard Johnson, Sandman and so on don’t care whether you book directly or via an agency, but if they are smaller independent places they may offer you a slightly better deal because that way they save themselves the fee they have to pay to the agent.

I still need help making sure the hotel or motel is in a convenient place, but I can work with most of it independently.

I’m looking for recommendations on an accessible hotel booking app. I’m totally blind if that matters. I’m using an iphone8. We are thinking we’ll just try to find a room when my wife gets tired of driving. This is our first attempt at the snow bird thing. We already have housing arranged in Tucson but nothing for the road trip. Thanks for any help, Joe -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
