Who says discount rooms are only available at shabby motels? With a little creativity and a lot of patience, you book a room in a luxury hotel and enjoy the luxury with a big discount. Get everything you always wanted - 24-hour room service, comfortable bedding and a concierge without all bills.
The Internet works wonders
A tight budget is no excuse for a cheap hotel room. Use the Internet to your advantage to find the lowest prices available for the best rooms in the city. Log on to your favorite travel agent website - you will be surprised at what you can find.
Be on the lookout for non-traditional categories such as hip hotels, select resorts, and seaside retreats. Your travel sites may “hide” discount rooms in these categories.
Are you planning to stay long? If you are, take advantage of the discount available to tourists who intend to stay for a long period. You can usually get 30% off the regular rates.
In the off-season, many travel agencies offer first-class hotel rooms 40 percent less than regular rates. Moreover, you can take advantage of first-class vacations, cruises, spas and car rentals - all at discounted prices.
Take advantage of hotels where your travel agency has special offers. When you book in these hotels, you get huge discounts. You should also use the "sort by hotel class" feature on your travel agent website, because you will immediately increase the number of discount hotel rooms that you can afford.
