When you stay in hotels a lot, it is easy to blow your travel budget. These tips will help you save money on your hotel room so that you can spend your money doing something more enjoyable.
You can start by looking at sites such as Kayak, Trivago or Booking.com for a general overview of hotels in the area. But don’t depend on these sites to see all of the details. Continue to research these hotels on your own. You can find promo codes and other benefits like free parking, breakfast, or Wi-Fi. Don’t forget to check out the hotel’s page. Booking through their website can get you the best rates for some chains.
Once you have a good idea of the terrain, pick a few favorites to call and then dial the number. Ask the hotel for the price that you found on other websites and see if they can offer you a better deal. Consumer Reports found that negotiating directly with the hotel will guarantee you a better rate or room. This is almost 80% according to their survey.
Last-minute travelers can use apps like HotelTonight to find cheap rooms at quality rates. The application will show Swissotel Chicago at a cost of $ 314 per night for two nights. This includes taxes and fees. This is more than 100 percent less than other booking sites.
HotelTonight allows you to book up to one week in advance. You can also use HotelTonight to book last-minute deals in other cities like One: Night which is currently available in six locations, and Priceline.com which offers “tonight only” deals every day at 11:11 am.
Last-minute reservations are not always possible.
Flavie LemarchandWood, spokesperson for Priceline.com, advises that you should reserve a hotel room in advance if you are traveling to a city to attend a conference with thousands or more people, or to an area where there are limited options for hotels.
Although bidding on a room can result in substantial savings, you should not have any problem letting the market decide. Priceline.com’s “set you own price” feature lets you select star levels and neighborhoods, but it does not reveal the name of the hotel until your offer has been accepted.
Experts recommend using regular websites listings to find out about available hotels in your local area and the star rating you desire. They also include:
“When you are ready to bid, you should start from where you feel most comfortable and then try again. Don’t get discouraged if your offer is not accepted.
This is the downside: Once your offer has been accepted, your credit card will be charged. Your reservation cannot be cancelled or changed.
You don’t have to stay in hotels. Sites like Airbnb and HomeAway allow you to rent an entire apartment or a whole house. Hostels are also a good option for budget-minded travelers. You don’t have to share a room (unless you choose to) with teenagers. Many hostels have private rooms with their own bathrooms.
It is more expensive to stay in the center of the city. You can save a lot by not staying in the heart of the city, but you will still be close to public transport for easy access. According to Kayak’s recent search, you can book the Hyatt Regency Chicago O’Hare for $ 79 per night. It is only a short walk to the subway station, which gives easy access to downtown Chicago and the airport. A night at the Hyatt Regency downtown costs $ 125.
Reduced hotel rates are available for students, pensioners, military personnel, retired people, and government employees. You can check the hotel information before you book or learn more about the discounts available through the websites.
