These simple tips will make sure you get the best hotel experience for your budget, whatever that budget may be.

Hotel prices and the perks you get can vary wildly depending on how you book. There are, however, ways to discover a deal and save some money.

Here are some of Guestkor’s best tips to do just that. It may seem counterintuitive, but the hotel offering the lowest price doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re getting the best deal. The higher priced hotel may have inclusions that add up to more value than the lower priced property.

Keep in mind what comes with the room you book, as well as how it hits your wallet, and what you may spend extra on if you book a bargain basement hotel room.

For instance, a room that is 2,000 per night lower than the one at the hotel across the street might not have free Wi-Fi, free breakfast or other amenities you may pay out of pocket for anyway.

Paid hotel Wi-Fi and breakfast could add up to 5,000 or more per night, more than what you would have saved if you’d booked the so-called pricier property.

Many hotels reward travelers who join their loyalty programs, like Rewards and more, but the perks you get such as breakfast, early-check-in, and room upgrades can add up very quickly, especially if you stay loyal. With all of these rates and discounts, however, it’s worth contacting the hotel and mentioning that you found the rate on a specific app or through a flash sale, and you’d like to know if you can book directly.

Most hotels prefer you book directly than through apps that take a cut of the cost, and will match your price or otherwise make it worth your while if you do. Many travel agents, especially those affiliated with larger agencies like , have negotiated preferred rates with a range of hotel brands.
