Its not only Hotel Tonight that does that, even priceline's negotiator, hotwire's hot deals and travelocity's last minute discounts. It wasn't something new that HotelTonight tried, but by creating an app for a narrow vertical 'discount rooms for tonight', they attracted lot of people's attention.

The problem with HT is that it can't do enough volume to actually build a profitable business. It's primary customer is someone bigger to buy them out.
