You’ve been saving up money for this trip; your family is really looking forward to it. But when you did a final budget check, you found that you’re going to be short of cash. You won’t have any money for souvenirs. Here are some ideas for you to save money on your hotel:

· Get as small a room as you can handle. Don’t pay extra for a larger room just because the hotel didn’t have any smaller rooms left. Negotiate your rate down.

· See what discounts you might qualify for – maybe for being a senior citizen, in the military, your corporate discount, or even any partnerships with your credit cards.

· Ask for an extra mattress for your family. Often times, instead of making you get two rooms, hotels will provide with an extra rollout mattress for the little ones.

· Look online! You can browse through travel websites, sites where you bid for hotel rooms, discount hotel companies, as well as hotel’s home pages. There has to be a great deal in there somewhere.

· If you travel a lot, join your favorite hotel’s frequent guess program. That will get you free hotel nights in no time.
