Step 1
First, travel in the off-season.
Hotels often drastically reduce their rates during the off season of travel and increase their hotel room rates during the peak season of travel (for that area). -
Step 2
If you are looking to stay at the hotel room for 4+ days, consider asking about a weekly rate.
Although it may seem counter intuitive, sometimes paying for more days (a rate based on time) is actually cheaper than paying for the days individually. -
Step 3
Save money by looking at hotel/flight packages.
Many sites , like tripadvisor, kayak.com and even airlines now offer options for hotel and flight packages. Often times these packages offer reduced rates for hotel rooms or for flights. -
Step 4
Finally, to get a great deal on hotel room, check for any discounts you qualify for.
Some popular discounts are AAA, AARP, government related, etc.
