Summer is coming up and with all the wonderful places we’d like to see while on vacation, one of the things one has to make considerations of is the cost of everything. By this, it also means the cost of staying in a hotel. Many people would have loved to stay in a hotel, however, some hotels are far too expensive to book. Well, worry not! Your hotel stay does not have to break the bank if you know some trick here and there in order to get the best deal out of the hotel that you are planning to book.
To start with, there are actual strategies that you could do in order to keep the cost for your hotel budget, for a more comfortable stay in places that you visit. Follow these simple steps and you never have to overpay:
TIP #1
Book your stay during the off peak season. Time has value. Booking a hotel is a matter of supply and demand. If the place you are visiting is having a festival or special event of some sort.

TIP #2
Ask for a corner room. This is just so you can get more space for the same price. The best way to do this is to make sure there are less guest to be assisted when you ask and your queries will most likely be taken care of and request granted.
TIP #3
When booking in the summer, check out some business hotels for booking. They can actually provide you with a very favorable deal because the business is usually slow during the summer season and most business hotels that cater to business travelers would provide lower prices for their guests.
TIP #4
No to 800 numbers. This means instead of calling the toll free numbers for the hotels, just call the hotel directly.

Also, when you have a hotel that you frequently stay in, make it a point to make friends with the staff. You can can get a good if not better service by doing so. Booking your stay directly at a hotel also increases your perks at their establishment.

TIP #8
Don’t be afraid to mention special days. Whether it’s birthday, wedding anniversary, honeymoon or a special engagement you have planned out. When hotel staff learn about them, they would usually make your stay extra special, and you can also get an upgrade for doing so.
