Saving money with Coupons at Hotels

By Chris Linch

It does not matter the purpose or reason for your travel a choice of hotel is one of your most important things surrounding travel planning. If you are on a budget then you need to know what to do to cut the cost on your hotel. That way you can use the money at your destination instead.

I am writing today to tell you one way to save on your hotel stay.

A great way to save money on hotels is through discount coupons. The can be found at the following places.

Books on destinations are a great way to go. These are available from the office of tourism in the city you are visting, and online. You can also buy books on travel. You can usually find them in airports at a gas station or sometimes at an attraction like a theme park or show. Just look through the book to find coupons for hotel properties.

The internet is an excellent resource for discounts. Several sites are in competition to get your business and offer deep discounts on hotel rooms. You can also visit the chain's website and sign up for emails, most will send out coupons and discounts all the time.

If you want to travel frequently you might join a travel club. They usually have a good source for discounts for their members. They are easy to find you can just search for a travel club in your city online.

When using a coupon keep the following things in mind.

As with everything there is always fine print, make sure you read it. Most hotels will restrict the use of coupons on special occasions and holidays. Also you may not be able to make a reservation with a coupon, this could leave you with no place to stay if you wait until you get there to book. Since hotel prices are based on the demand for rooms, you will save the most when the area is not busy and the hotels have a lot of vacancy.

Most coupons are for walk in only. That means you have to wait until you get there to book. Make sure you can make a reservation with your coupon to avoid not having a place to stay.
