You know that by doing some research and comparison shopping you can find discounted airfares to your destination. Similarly you can find discounted hotel accommodation. Hotels too have discounted rates and if you research them you too will be able to find discounted hotels and not have to pay the full rates.
Depending on where you are travelling, there are hotels that offer 50% discounts on their rates during off peak seasons. Hotels in warmer climates usually offer discounts in fall and spring since their peak season is usually winter when people want to travel to a warmer climate.
Some hotels offer discounts on certain days of the week, hotels that cater to business travellers usually offer discounts over the week end while hotels that cater to leisure travellers usually offer discounts during the week. Hotels also sometimes offer special rates and packages where rates are reduced with free nights or perks offered.
There are also packages the include airfare and accommodation or airfare, accommodation and car rental that are at discount and offer a cheaper way to travel. This is because sometimes hotels do not want to discount their rates and they mask the discounts through packages. There are many travel sites on the internet that you can check for these discounted packages.
If you stay at a hotel that is part of a chain, joining their frequent guest club can get you good discounts at their other hotels. It is usually free to join these guest clubs and members usually get free up grades or discounts on their stay.
Another way of saving on accommodation is to sign up for hotel rewards credit cards. These credit cards award points for their use, sometimes these points can be redeemed for free stay or for steep discounts on your stay.
You can also save quite a bit of money on food if your hotel offers you kitchens or even microwaves. The savings could amount to a significant amount.
