Staying in Other Accommodations

  • Check in early to avoid the last minute rush.
  • Check that all the doors and windows in your room have locks and that they work.
  • Arrive as near the hotel entrance as possible and, if after dark, in a well-lit area.
  • Choose a hotel where security is good and transportation is readily available and nearby.
  • Ask the bellman, concierge, and front desk personnel regarding safe — and not-so-safe — areas around the city to jog, dine, or sightsee.
  • Ask what services are included in the room rate, maybe the rock-bottom rate won’t save you as much money as a slightly higher price that includes free parking and breakfast, for example.
  • Inform the clerk or manager of whatever organizations you have membership in (AAA, for example). Ask about supersaver rates, weekend or weekday specials or convention or corporate rates.
  • You know when you’ve gotten the best rate when the reservation clerk is prepared to let you hang up, rather than take your reservation. As long as the clerk is still talking, there’s still room to negotiate.
  • Carry a small plastic spray mist bottle filled with essential oil such as lavender or lemon and water. This is handy as an air freshener when staying in older accommodation or in less than fresh surroundings.
