(A)
If
you’re the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat
and you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save
on your next hotel room:
*Be
Flexible Hotel rates are
based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destination’s
high season is from December through April and you’re trying to book near the
end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel
dates by a week or two.
*Check
Hotel Web Sites The large
travel-booking Web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up
empty hotel moms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts,
and because they’re not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals
than the travel sites.
*Don’t
be Afraid to Bargain Most
people are so intimidated(畏缩的)by know-it-all
hotel desk clerks that they don’t bargain for a better deal. But bargaining for
a better deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers
would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at
all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, don’t be afraid to
complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such
charges.
*Avoid
Hidden Costs Expensive little
extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Don’t let this
happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before
you agree to stay. And don’t touch the hotel’s phone unless you absolutely have
to — the rates can be more than $2 a
minute even inside the United
States.
