Priceline's new Tonight-Only Deals feature just made its way into the company's iPad app.
With Tonight-Only Deals, users get a steep discount on hotel stays beginning that day and know the identity of the hotel up-front.
The deals are available in about 34 US cities from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. local time, depending on availability.
The deals aren't generally as good as those offered through Priceline's opaque, bidding service, Name Your Own Price, or when booking regular retail rates, both of which are also available using the iPad app.
Priceline's Hotel & Car Negotiator iPhone app offers hotel and car booking, but the iPad version of the app doesn't have car rentals yet.
A Priceline spokesman says hotels are a much bigger portion of the company's business than car rentals are so getting the Tonight-Only Deals service into the iPad app was more of a priority.
Priceline's Tonight-Only Deals feature competes with -- and in many ways is very similar to -- Hotel Tonight.
Tonight-Only Deals from Priceline debuted in its iPhone app in late September.
