Hotel Reservations made easy
The first night of our vacation we spent in a hotel. It was a last minute decision. We were getting tired, it was getting late, & the idea of a warm soft bed was very appealing. Had I known what the camping would be like on the trip, I would have appreciated it all the more.
Since we hadn't planned to stop anywhere, we didn't have any Hotel Reservations. Fortunately for us, March is not a big month for tourists in Southern Utah. We were able to find a room at the first place we stopped & the kids only complained a little bit about not having access to a pool.
Next time we take a trip, however, I'll definitely be checking out the Hotel Reservations website. First off, it's an easy name to remember. Not much chance that I'll forget the URL to that one. In addition to hotels, the site has info on flights, cars, vacation packages and vacation rentals. (Did I mention how many hours we spent looking for a vacation rental before deciding to camp?)
The site even offers a lowest price guarantee. If you find a lower price online for the same hotel and date, Hotel Reservations will give you a $100 rebate.
Hotel Reservations has fantastic discounts on world wide destinations, ranging from Algeria to Taiwan, Canada to Fiji. In fact they list 1360 destinations to choose from. With a list that long there's no excuse for booking your travel anywhere else.
I'm telling you, I could spend all day daydreaming about their vacation packages. It would have been nice to know about this website when we planned our trip, but better late than never. Next time we travel I won't have to worry about smelling like a campfire or whether there are any mosquitos in my rootbeer. I can shop for hotels in my jammies at 3:00 in the morning & know I'm getting the best deal on the net.
