Empty rooms do not generate cash flow. Someone in that establishment is directly responsible to see that as many rooms as possible are generating some amount of income, every night. Here are the steps to follow to help that hotel meet its goals and get a great bargain at the same time. NAIL DOWN THE EXACT HOTEL AND SPECIFIC LOCATION WHERE YOU WISH TO BOOK A ROOM. Going online is the easiest way to figure out your choices. Find that specific location's local telephone number. KNOW THE GOING RATE OF ROOMS AT THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION. You can find this online at the hotel's site. Then visit BiddingForTravel.com. This is a site where Priceline and Hotwire bidders disclose their winning bids, along with the name of the hotel they landed. The information that others have posted here will give you a good sense about the rate you may be able to negotiate. Notice the wide range or rates others have paid. This should give you confidence that the hotel will let rooms go for bargain rates to keep the lower-level employee. This is the person on duty who has the authorplace full.
