9 ways to save big on your next hotel stay

Many factors determine the price you pay for your hotel stay, from the destination you’re seeking to the time of year you’re traveling. Other influences are less predictable.

Location

It’s no secret that sought-after hotels in large cities or popular resorts will cost quite a bit more than a modest motel on a country road.

Star Ratings

A variety of different groups — such as guidebook publishers, consumer associations and travel websites — award hotels between one and five stars.

Room Type

Whether you’ve chosen a no-frills two-star motel or a glamorous five-star resort, you’ll pay more for certain rooms within the same building.

Special touches, like turn-down service and super fluffy towels, can add to your enjoyment during, but they’ll also add to the price.
