We will always show you all available discounts – hotel best rates, AAA, CAA, ARRP, senior, corporate, government, military, etc.
We will never charge you a service fee for making a reservation.
No advance payment is required for 85% of our reservations. Your credit card guarantees your room, but it's not billed until you check out.
If you find a lower, comparable rate at another website – including the hotel's own website – we will quickly pay you the difference.
If a hotel should ever charge you more than your confirmed room rate, we will reimburse you for the difference.
$ Cost Codes Are Estimates
After the name of each hotel in our city quides, you will find from 1 to 5 dollar signs – $ for the cheapest hotels, $$$$$ for the most expensive.
These cost codes are useful estimates, but they are not exact because hotel room rates vary by
Season of the year – rooms at the beach are cheaper in winter.
Day of the week – business hotels have lower prices on weekends.
Whether a professional sports team or major concert is in town.
Who you are – AAA members, seniors, business travelers, and government and military personnel are often eligible for discounts.
When you make your reservation – you can sometimes negotiate a lower last-minute rate, if the hotel has a vacancy.
The best way to find out how much a hotel room will cost you on a given night is to click any of our See Rates or Check Availability links and enter your check-in and check-out dates.
If you have any questions about hotel rates or cancellation policies, please write us.
The best thing about using HotelGuides was that I didn't have to pay for my stay in advance, yet I was able to get the best rate.
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
