    Holiday Hotel Tip!!!!

    in Online Hot Deals

    Posted

    When calling hotels directly inquiring about rates, never take the first "special" they offer. Chances are, that "special" is just their normal 10% discount (AAA, AARP, Govt., etc).

    All hotels have "resistance" rates. Hotels provide their Central Reservation Centers with the lowest rate that they'll sell a room for. Sometimes it's called "Best Rate", sometimes it's called a "Manager's Special", or something else, depending on the hotel brand. I worked for Best Western and ours were Mgr Specials, BW Best Rate, or RaceFan Rate (something like that -- same as Best Rate, but geared toward Nascar fans, because BW is "the official hotel of Nascar").

    If you say you're just shopping around, or the rate is a little more than you were looking to spend, they'll come back with a lower rate. And it's usually about $10-$20 cheaper than the rate they quoted you to begin with.

     

    I used to make up prices, just to get them to book. LOL. Or if they were a walk in, and clearly not going to stay at Rack Rate, I've been known to give a discount because they knew what state they were in.

    thankx!

    Next time ,if someone of my friends wanna get some information about it,you are the best choice,right?thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:tweety::giggle::yelclap:
