How could a stay at a more expensive Hotel provide an even cheaper vacation than staying at a discount Hotel?

• When comparing rates, look at the whole package. The answers to the questions below could reveal that the more expensive Hotel has included many services in their rate that will reduce other areas of your vacation budget. So, depending on your plans, the more expensive Hotel might provide a less expensive vacation.
• Are any meals included with your stay?
• If the breakfast is included, does that mean cold cereal or a whole buffet?
• Are there any special deals for children?
• Are there any special deals for seniors?
• Does the Hotel provide free in room coffee, morning newspapers or complimentary evening cocktails?
• Does the Hotel have excellent pool, fitness or tennis facilities that could provide a cheap day of entertainment by just hanging around the Hotel?
• Does the Hotel have a golf, tennis or spa package that will save you over booking these items separately?
• Is the Hotel’s location particularly good, or does the Hotel have a shuttle service that could save you lots of cab fare or even eliminate the need for a rental car? Remember a shuttle service will also save you parking fees and gas.
• Does the Hotel have laundry services or the ability to loan out irons, ironing boards, hair dryers or voltage converters if needed to help lessen your luggage needs?
• Does the Hotel have other amenities available such as in room coffee makers, refrigerators or even kitchenettes that could save you money in your food budget?

Not sure what you want to go in here. Dummy text for now.

It depends on the how we negotiated with the provider. Some of our providers require just a room night deposit to hold your room while others require pre-payment at the time of your reservation. Please refer to the amount displayed on the hotel confirmation page to see what your credit card will be charged upon making the reservation. Typically those requiring pre-payment are offering significantly reduced rates.

Please fill out a cancel/modify my reservation form. Include your previous reservation amount along with your questions. A Customer Service Representative will contact you within 24 hours. Please check the confirmation and the providers cancellation policy regarding refunds of reservation and/or deposit amounts. The policies are clearly detailed and closely followed because of our contractual arrangements.

Some hotels allow us to book their rooms until 3:00pm on the day of arrival. Only those hotels that follow this policy will be displayed to you if your arrival date is the same day.

The hotel information is actually updated by the hotel or hotel chain a number of times per year. Additionally, we strive to have the most accurate and complete hotel information available but we have to rely on the personnel at the hotel property to update and change information when appropriate. If you have specific requirements we recommend you contact the hotel to validate the amenity or service(s).
