What should I ask for when booking a hotel room?
Make sure to request a full set of clean linens — from bed sheets to blankets — upon check in. If you ask, they practically have to do it; no hotel wants a review that a guest was denied a clean spot to rest his head.
How can I negotiate with the hotel?
If you call the hotel directly instead, you can negotiate. If you book with us, make sure to do it on the cheapest day of the week. Hotels can pay a commission of up to 30 percent to online hotel booking sites.
When is the best time to call for a special request?
Don’t call between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. with a special request. Chances are I’ll have a long line of guests waiting to check out or in and will just want to get you off the phone. Looking for a unique experience? Make sure to book a stay at one of these unique hotels.
