Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended trip to multiple destinations, your hotel costs are likely the most expensive part of your vacation. Here are four strategies to help you save money and stay within budget!

Look for social media and website deals. Some hotels give rewards to would-be customers who come directly to them, instead of online booking engines. If you are interested in staying at a particular hotel, check their website and social media pages for a lower rate before you book through another site. 

Grab a last minute deal. When it’s the day-before or the day-of, hotels are very eager to fill their vacant rooms. If you decide to book at the last minute, you will find that room rates are typically reduced 30-80%, depending on the hotel!
