Ask the manager for a reduced room rate in exchange for some reduced services. Assuming you'll be staying for 2 or more nights, ask that in exchange for a lower rate you'd be willing to not have your room serviced.

Purchase another associated service being offered by the hotel, such as Spa, Golf or having dinner at the hotel. I have never paid the listed price for any hotel stay using some these tips and suggestions. We usually get about a 10% discount off the booked room price.
