Tricks For Going Cheap On Lodging

By Anthony Williams


The spring break is fast approaching. College junkies are clamoring to get out of school and take a breathe of fresh air somewhere up the mountains, away from the city noise. Not to mention travelers in constant need of soul searching and fine adventure. Or they may just want to have one last ski trip to refresh and get some vitamin D.

The real dilemma is booking Taos lodging that would fit your budget and allow you to make the best out of being there. You cannot wait to get yourself into the artist galleries and museums the place is so much famed for. That is understandable since most of the scenery there are were also painted by the best artists.

Since you know that you need to have a place to say every night, cutting down on expenses like the one for your accommodation will really help you save some more. Just in case you have another vacation planned. This is because inexpensive costs has a bigger impact on the budget you have.

Make the dates flexible so that you can adjust based on the availability of rooms at cheaper costs. This will provide you better deals. Just have an estimate of the best time for your destination. Lodges are typically cheaper than regular hotels, so go that route. They can also provide you more for lower rates as they are much more flexible.

Like how much in total, you will have to spend, with all the inclusions and possible discounts. Like airlines, hotels and lodgings had joined the bandwagon of early bookings for lower prices. Take advantage of that. Only make sure that they offer cancellations just in case of inevitable price hikes.

Since you are going to be speaking with a staff, the real time rates and promotion will be available for you to take advantage of. If not that, they will at least make you understand why you find the prices higher. The place may be loaded with events, thereby skyrocketing the price. Of course it also depends on what time of year you are booking it for.

There is no surefire way to get the best deal. Not on websites, not anywhere. Oftentimes you get it when you are almost ready to give up on finding cheaper rates. However, you have to manage your expectations. You do not just get these deals at a busy time. Make a proper timing for your trip.

That much they know, and they will welcome the negotiation. If you want to risk it, go there without a reservation and get a deal at the last minute. This may give you a better chance at a cheaper stay. Avoid trying to get everything that you do not need. A five star hotel for example, will leave you spending an extra hundred dollars for inclusions that are unnecessary.

The location overall, more than makes up for any minor inconvenience you will experience during your stay. If you like being frugal and if you choose to, when the time of the trip comes, you may just be able to splurge on a thing or two in Taos. And that will make your stay even more memorable.
