If you’ve had any opportunity to travel, hotels obviously vary quality in a big way. Trying to save ten or twenty dollars on a hotel can make the difference between comfortable accomodations and a disappointing stay.

It’s important to book your hotel room in advance when you travel, as showing up without a reservation means you’ll pay top dollar, which is often almost double compared to calling ahead.

Here are some important tips for travel hotels suggest you to use;

• Spell your name when making a reservation to avoid disappointment. A misspelling can mean a lost reservation
• Before you confirm your room, ask for both room rate and tax
• Be sure to use a valid credit card when making a reservation. It may seem obvious, but a simple mistake such as this makes the difference.
• Specify your room preference (like one king bed or two queen beds)
• Be sure to get a confirmation number for each room you’ve reserved
• If you reseve multiple rooms, assign an occupants name to each one
• Find out the check in and check out times
• Ask the cancellation policy in case your plans change. Knowing in advance could help to successfully cancel a reservation instead of being charged on your credit card as “no show”
• You can apply for travel insurance which will protect you if the trip is cancelled
• Look over your confirmation for errors as soon as you receive it
• Ask if they offer any discounts like corporate, AAA, senior, etc
• Research travel guides and photos on the internet to avoid disappointment
• When booking in advance, always seek out special rates

When preparing to travel, hotels prefer advance reservations. Book ahead for your best savings!
