3. Most people assume that the best hotel prices are found on travel sites.

People tend to think that the only way to get the best price on a room is by searching on travel sites. Well…this is wrong. Big hotel chains such as InterContinental have great deals if you book a room directly with the hotel.

In general, most hotels offer certain discounts that travel websites tend to “overlook.” Plus, it is easier to discuss directly with the hotel than a booking agent. If you plan to travel soon, try to get in contact with the hotel manager, he or she will tell you the best deals they have.
