Hotel: Book 2 unit 23
Whereas bargaining for cheaper room rates is not usually possible, you might get a discount if you ask for one. Hotels have different rates for business and vacationing travelers. If the hotel has many empty rooms, it may offer you a better rate.
Additionally, hotels often have discount rates if you stay several nights.
Auto clubs, such as AAA, and several major credit cards have arrangements with large hotel chains such as Best Western and Holiday Inn. When you check in at a hotel, ask if you’re entitled to a discount. Hotels also place discount coupons in newspapers.
Check out time at hotels is 11:00 or 12: 00 A .M..
A tip of one or two dollars is appropriate for someone who helps carry your baggage. It’s not necessary to tip the people who clean your room. Although most cleaning people are honest, it’s best not to leave anything valuable in a hotel room. Hotel front desks will usually hold your valuables if you ask them to.
