(1) Use travel websites to compare prices.

(2) Visit the hotel website to compare their prices with the travel web-sites.

(3) Stay further away from downtown areas. Hotels further away from major attractions are going to be cheaper.

(4) Book your hotel as part of a package with your airline ticket or car rental. Some travel web-sites will give you a discount for booking them together. However, make sure to compare the prices of booking separately before you pay. You might be able to get a better price by booking them on different web-sites.

(5) Book  a couple of weeks in advance.

(6) Look for hotels that give you a complimentary breakfast. If two hotels cost the same , but one is offering a complimentary breakfast, think of how much you can save on breakfast for a family of four.

(7) Use  hotel rewards points to offset the cost of the hotel room.

(8) Use discount codes from travel websites if available.

These tips can in no way guarantee you a cheap price, but they can be used as a guide to help you save money on your next hotel stay.
