Find Affordable Hotel Accommodation Rates

By Shealin Shaunene


Make sure that you are flexible when it comes to your itinerary. You want to be able to have a secondary set of dates in the event you can't get your first choice.

You may want to bundle hotel and car rentals because a lot of times that is a way of getting a cheaper rate for last minute travel.

For bargain hotel rooms that are available at the last minute, you don't have to get anything that is substandard. There are plenty of hotels that are not always reserved to the maximum capacity. A lot of times, there will usually be some rooms available.

You can stay in a nice hotel and pay a bargain price for it. The only way for you to get that price is to ask for it. You will not get anyone that will offer you lower rates. All they can do is tell you yes or no. At least you would have made an attempt to ask.

You can ask when you are getting ready to reserve your room, and confirm those rates when you're about to check into your room.

If you are able to get a cheap hotel rate, you will have more money to spend on yourself. Most, if not all people that book hotel rooms only stay in the hotel when they're sleeping.

Make sure that you have an airline reservation prior to booking your room at a hotel. There is more advantage in having a packaged travel deal. They usually have more to offer the last minute traveler. If you make reservations for a hotel room first, you will miss out on whatever savings are available from the packaged travel deal.

Check for family discounts and frequent guest plan packages. You will have to ask what is available. The bargains are out there; however, if you don't ask, you won't know.

If you don't have to stay in a pricey hotel, there are always other options. Try bread and breakfast lodging, motels and self-sufficient apartments. You can also inquire about guesthouses.

In order to cut down on food costs, most hotels offer continental breakfast. There's no extra charge for this, so take advantage of it if the hotel offers it.

Since hotels are not always booked to capacity, you should inquire about cancellations. Also ask the hotel about last-minute check-in specials.
