Tip of the Week

Cost is usually the most important single factor people use in selecting a discount hotel. The total cost of a hotel reservation includes the sum of the daily rates plus taxes, fees and any additional charges. Other factors, however, should usually be taken into account when searching for discount hotels. Rates for discount hotels can vary enormously based on where the rates are from, the exact time you the hotel reservation is booked and the exact day or days the hotel reservation is for. Reservations for a discount hotels which include special events in or near the discount hotel or which include holidays during the hotel stay can be far more expensive. Although discount hotels are easy to find, when shopping for discount hotels be sure to visit several competitive web sites if booking a discount hotel on the internet or check with more than one travel agents since they may get their rates for discount hotels from different sources. Even if your past experience has taught you that a particular hotel reservation system or source is best, it usually pays to shop around. As with all forms of shopping: Buyer Beware!
