Hotels overbook their hotels in the hope that they will be able to fill all of their rooms. Unfortunately for them they still do not manage to succeed. With people canceling, rooms not being ready, or changes in scheduling many rooms are left empty for the night.
These rooms represent and opportunity for you to bump up to a nicer stay for free. Some rooms may be bigger, have a better view, have two sinks, or larger closets. Along with the rooms there are also many other perks like late checkout, free movies, and more. To help you get the room you are looking for here are some tips.
Our signature shades of grey with a splash of color create a modern and inviting area for you to call your home away from home. You'll also find ergonomic seating, which will be a perfect place to kick back and relax while watching the room's high definition 42 inch flat screen television.
These front desk attendants have access to rooms along with other perks and they will give you more hoping for another tip. If you arrive in the evening the desk attendant will more likely know what rooms have not been filled so if you are going to ask you'll have better luck later in the day.
2. Mind Your Manners - This is a reoccurring theme in the service industry but it does not just apply to the employees. The front desk attendant has to work long hours and over weekends dealing with the stress of upset guests. Having a polite guest is a relief and your attitude can actually make a large difference when it comes to their willingness to give you a better room.
3. Book Smart - There are two big things that influence your ability to get a better room. The first is where you book. Discount sites like Priceline or Expedia place you in a different category. Individuals at the desk will be less willing to place you in a nicer room when you paid a discount price.
If you are hoping for the better stay, try booking on the hotel's website. Another part of booking smart is purchasing a mid-range room. This will present less of a jump to a suite than your original base room would. Desk attendants will help you with small jumps while they may feel uncomfortable with the big ones.
4. Tongue of Silver - Now don't be manipulative but certain things you say will increase the likelihood of getting a better room. The first is special occasions. If it is your birthday this week or your anniversary or any other occasion, make mention of it to the desk attendant. Who wants to end your happiness on your special day? The second thing you can do is name drop.
The Mystic area is also a wonderful place to enjoy the water. You can go sailing at Calf Pasture Beach or try your hand at Paddle boarding or kayaking with Down Under Kayaking. Prefer to stay on land? Enjoy a round of golf at the Oak Hills Park Golf Course, or explore the SONO design district, where you'll find shopping boutiques and culinary arts.
5. Loyalty and Novelty - I am grouping these two together to limit the number of points but loyalty and novelty are two separate ways of getting a great room. Loyalty involves being a member of the hotel's program or perhaps having one of their credit cards. Make sure to have your card information ready for the desk attendant so when they do see or you mention you are a member of the loyalty program it is very easy for them to verify and offer you rewards.
The second idea involves novelty. Find smaller, newer hotels like Hotel Zero, a hotel in Norwalk, CT. These smaller hotels like who are still trying to create a fan base. These newer hotels will try to make you part of their love-group by giving you perks.
