There are a lot of things that you will want to ask your potential hotel, but you will definitely want to ask about discounts that you could possible get. There are a various types of discounts and you will want to take some of the following information inconsideration when planning your next overnight trip.

First you may want to search the internet and look for some really low rates. You will find that there are a number of sites online that offers travel arrangements at discount and you will want to go to these sites and see what type of discounts you could get.

You will also want to plan your trip during the seasons when tourist is low. This means you don't want to plan your trip in middle of summer. You will need to take a possible fall or winter trip, but you could also take an very early spring trip. You definitely don't want to deal traveling with all those other people cramping themselves into the airport. Plus security is at the worst during the summer.

Also you will want to call the hotels that you are looking at and see what they are offering that makes them special or if they are willing to give you a discount. You may find that with the competition you could get a discount based on other hotel rates.

You will also want to consider paying on credit card. Even though credit cards are seemed as an "evil", you may be able to get a discount just because you are paying with a credit card and you will also want to mention this when you call and talk to the hotel manager. You will also want to make sure that you try to be reasonable in the negotiations too.

You may also want to drop a name if you have that option. Most people will only say someone else's name if they tend to stay a lot at that hotel. You will also want to check out some of the packages that the hotel will offer to you so that you can save yourself some money overall in the trip.

If you are in the military or you are a veteran, you may be able to get discounts through the government or they may be offered through the hotel chain. Make sure that you think about asking about such a discount when you are looking to make a reservation. You will also want to make sure that you think about some of the extras in a hotel rate, because that doesn't include extra things like food and you may even find high taxes for hotels when you are traveling abroad.
