Average cost for a decent room on average? In continental u.s
Varies city to city. Some places you can get a 4 star room for $120/night, other places it's $300/night
US is the most expensive country in the world for hotels taking quality and location into consideration. I used to like La Quinta, but it used to be $60 not $120. Here's a Day's Inn near fucking Fort Smith Arkansas for $83. I bet that used to be a $35 hotel 5 years ago. Useless thread. Hunker down if you live in the US to save for an RV or for an actual destination.
Look at this. Shit ratings near where I grew up where you can buy a house for $80k still. $93/night. Yes, I'm seething.
you can buy this comfy little house in the same city for the equivalent of three year's stay at that shitty hotel. and no, this house is not the shittiest/cheapest by a long shot, just small.
>you can buy this comfy little house in the same city for the equivalent of three year's stay at that shitty hotel
This is the exact shit I'm talking about right here. How do people just accept these insane over charged prices. $4500 per month just to live in a decent hotel with out worrying about bugs and filthy sheets and shit
I'm a neet so not 100% sure but I think it has something to do with companies paying for stays as there isn't a whole lot of consistent tourism anywhere in rural America
This is now a comfy rust belt house thread.

though it did go from 1% black in 2000 to 8% now. can you blame them? if I'm a poor bro I'm buying a comfy house and living off of gibs
Always check the price on the hotel's official website if they have booking. It's often cheaper, or if not, better, than the likes of booking or agoda.

Sounds like bullshit and I don't believe it
Hotels that list on Booking get anywhere from 10-30% taken off the top (depending on their bargaining power) by the booking company. Some hotels will offer 10% off the Booking price because they're still making more money than you paying on a third party site.
Use a corporate discount code and then make a fake employee badge
What are some codes to use ?

Marriott

Non-chain hotel, or booking through cancerous OTA (that's all of them)

3stars?
Courtyard, Aloft, Moxy

Go fuck yourself, gb2 /shithole hostel/
What is wrong with ota?
I think it's a hotel ad. Hotels seethe pretty hard at OTAs and it looks like they've taken to this board to make it seem worth it for hotel loyalty programs. Guess what? if you overpay by $10 each time you stay at a hotel, they might give you a free night or a restaurant discount once in a while!
I'm able to travel so much because I shop for the best deals using OTAs and whatever airline.
Is trying to negotiate 20% with the front desk pushing it?
No one would let you do that at any reputable property. Try again streetshitter
I've rolled into motels and balked at the price they quoted and had them drop it so I didn't walk. I can usually sweet talk nicer hotels into giving me a nicer room for the same price.
based gigachad. do they also throw in a free water for still paying 10% over the Agoda price that everyone else used?
Streetshitter / shitskin behavior. Haggling is a sign of being poor, cheap as shit, and being uncultured.
They call us IHG diamonds now. By the way, you must know that IHG rewards has always been a joke but at now they are promising real upgrades and real breakfast like a real chain of substance (I.e. Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott)
>Streetshitter / shitskin behavior
Almost every motel in the US is owned by pajeets or chinks. In Canada it's even worse. They bought them all up and immediately raised prices while discontinuing nearly all maintenance. You can tell it's pajeet owned because you can smell curry and it looks like people live in some rooms of the hotel. I'm just returning the favor for them shitting up my country.
>staying in some shitty motel
You do realize why, right? In the US/Cucknada, you can buy a green card as an "investor", but you can do it even cheaper by operating a "business"
Chinks and poos who are not wealthy enough buy up turn key businesses, employ X number of people for Y number of years, and qualify for a green card for less than the investment type visa that comes with instant green card. Same shit with corner stores, gas stations, etc.
Obviously, as these are bug people, they treat the workers like shit, etc. and are obviously too cheap to sign franchise contracts with big chains who actually have standards
By negotiating with the front desk infant over the phone...how about 15%
>front desk infant
*front desk I mean
Goddamn fucking autocorrect is a shit
Hampton Inn has never let me down.
Hampton Inn shill bot.,,is that you?
Average cost 2 stars? In u.s
Average cost 3stars in u.s?
This. The US is a large and famously decentralized country. What you pay will vary considerably based on location but also seasonally, whether it's a weekend, etc.
Expect basic but comfortable enough motels to range from $40-100 a night and "business" hotels in major cities like Marriott to be from $100-200 a night, occasionally more.
Luxury hotels and resorts might go from $200 to $400 per night.
The real crapshoot are casinos like in Vegas where it entirely depends on what is happening that weekend. Prices can go from free during some kind of promotion to $200 a night if there's a major event happening. This is for the exact same room.
when was the last time you stayed at a hotel in the US? you need to add about 50-100% to those prices to be accurate. find me a single not shit hotel for under $50 a night. it hasn't been possible since 2020.
Recently. About $35+tax is the lower limit of what you can score. For a MOTEL. Anywhere that's not a coastal city. Try to find one farther away from the highway and they're cheaper (also seem to be less likely pajeet owned). Look for what discounts you can score (Priceline, AAA, etc.)
The best value in hotels in the US though is indian casinos. Try to find one of the smaller less popular ones without resort fees.
Odd more people are not interested in discussing ways to get the best deals on hotel rooms on a fucking traveling board
It's because there are none dummy
Hotel? Trivago
I thought more of you would be interested in the idea of discussing ways to save on nights spent lodging
IHG spire member here, it's trash and not worth it. Holiday Inns have gotten so much shittier since COVID, they are still doing brown bag breakfast in a lot of places. I do like the Kimptons but the hassle of getting pubic hair in my bed is not worth it
Show up, ask for the manager, good firm hand shake, explain your situation, and get the best deal you ever known.
It depends on the city. You have to research the specific area you're staying in. If you're staying in Chicago, you'd be fucking insane to stay in a motel. You'll end up in the ghetto and you'll get murdered. But if you're staying in Lake Tahoe California, just stay in whatever motel is the cheapest. There are no bad neighborhoods.
I always compare Airbnb to Travelocity prices. And I check out the nice neighborhoods. There was a great app called Ghetto Tracker that helped you avoid bad neighborhoods (black areas), but they shut it down for telling truths that people couldn't handle.
Thought this board would be interested in tips to save money on rooms. Guess I was wrong
So apparently there is only 15 or so people in the world that post on sighsee...sound about right?
In the first world you really need to airbnb if you want anything affordable. Everywhere else, everything is dirt cheap and you should just pick the hotel you like.
By first world do you mean albania or just Russia and China ?
How to get good discounts on rooms?
How do I ask for an upgrade when I'm checking in? Can I just say something like "Is there any chance I could upgrade my room to something a bit bigger?" or is that too direct?
>Got insane deal
>Call to reserve as online reservation was disabled by some reason
>"Uhh we don't offer that room"
>"I'm watching it right here"
>"Sure, let me check"
>Open a second tab just in case
>Indeed, the room dissapears
>"Nope, we don't have that room"
>"I already have screenshots of the rate"
>"... hello? Anyone there?"
>Call disconected
Fuck third party reservation sites, and fuck Visa and their shitty partners
I have to add, that rate was probably a mistake as it was well over $700 lower than the hotel rate (Hilton Helsinki, pres. suite for $255) but i'd be at least decent to say that the price was a mistake instead of trying to pull it out of the site and claim that i was seeing the rate in another site
How to get better deals on rooms?
Buy a house
Over ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS a fucking day for a decent room that's fucking bullshit THREE THOUSAND TO FORTY FIVE HUNDRED per fucking month
You sound anti Semitic
Why doesn'tsighsee know tips to better hotel deals? Does sighsee not travel? Or just accept whatever ever hotels ask?
Some of us just don't stay at bargain bin hotels. Almost all of my stays are exclusively on points.
What points? Who offers good points?
Hyatt, Marriott, and Chase UR to transfer to Hyatt.
>Chase UR
How does this work?
Can others confirm this is a good idea as well
You earn Ultimate Rewards with Chase and then you transfer 1:1 to Hyatt for the best redemption value.
Hyatt is expensive as fuck is it not?
4stars and plus I think, Hyatt also is usually only big cities?
Why aren't trv anons helping other anons on how to save on hotels and stuff? This should be a very active thread
Get 7%+ using a Cashback affiliate link site like topcashback when making a reservation on booking.com...way better than being a dumb chink and trying to haggle at the front desk with a person who makes $15/hr and has no control to even give a discount
Where do you buy post cards?
