A Room with a View...

An Overnight Stay Should Not End Up Breaking Your Travel Budget.

A few tips on getting a good price on your stay.  Many times you can get up to a 30% price reduction off the initial room rate with these few techniques.

  1. Call a hotel direct number not an 800 number.  Calling the hotel directly will get you in touch with the front desk receptionist.  The 800 number is a reservation center for almost all hotel brands.  The person at the reservation center has very little flexibility to adjust room prices.
  2. Ask for their “help” – tell them you are looking for their help and you need to come in as cost effective as you can.  Then ask for a lower rate and then…
  3. Ask for their corporate rate – usually hotel brands have pre-negotiated rates and compare this to their lower rates.
  4. After you get a lower corporate rate ask what the rate is for AAA.  Again, many hotels have a AAA discount in place.  Many times this may be lower than their “corporate” rate.
  5. Ask for their help and ask for a lower rate again.
  6. Know the rates for neighboring hotels – many times hotels are in clusters around interstate exits and tourist attractions.  It is not unusual to have at least 5 hotels at a particular interstate exit.  There are several exits off I-95 in NC that have 12 hotels with 3 minutes of each other.
  7. Use these rates to negotiate a great rate for the hotel you want to stay at.
  8. Lastly, ask what else the hotel could offer to get your business – many times the hotel with throw in free breakfast, free conference room, free parking, free shuttle service, a free movie on their movie system, free wine, etc…

Remember the old adage: If you don’t ask, you don’t get!
