How can I save money on my room rates?

• Make your reservation as soon as you have decided on travel plans. A limited amount of the cheapest rates are only usually available to the first few that reserve on a particular date; and they go quickly.
• Being flexible about your travel plans can save you money.
• The best rates are found during the off-season and at other times when the Hotel tends to have empty rooms. Business Hotels in the downtown area will often have specials on the weekend when their customers are home. Resorts often have specials during the week.
• Ask about weekly rates or weekend specials.
• Ask about suites. The Hotel might have a suite available to meet your needs that would be less expensive than two separate rooms. Remember to check on the bathroom arrangement, you may find having only one bathroom too limiting.
• Shopping the Internet can be the quickest and easiest way to compare many Hotels’ rates to find the best deals.
• Check into booking your room through a consolidator, they buy large blocks of rooms and often will pass their large discounts on to the individual consumer.
• You can check the national chain’s 800 number and also check with the Hotel directly, since one operator may be offering a special of which the other is unaware. ASK, if this is the best rate they have available.
• Check into booking your vacation as a package. You might be able to save by booking your room along with a certain airline, rental car or attraction ticket package.
• You can apply coupons, but read the coupons carefully for exceptions and their terms of use.
• Apply any special discount programs for which you are eligible.
