Travel Hacks – How to Make Hotel Stay More Comfortable

We all desire to travel for longer periods of time at a lower cost and in more comfort. Let us discuss a few travel hacks to make your hotel stay better, cheaper and more comfortable While many travel hacks seek to help you find the best airfare or make packing easier, there are several that try to make hotel stays inexpensive and more enjoyable.

Consider booking your room and flight together to see if you can obtain a better deal:

If you must purchase both, consider the benefits of booking your flight and hotel stay as part of a package. Often, doing so will result in a significant reduction in the overall cost of your vacation. Make sure to look into other websites and see what they have to offer as a part of a travel and hotel package. Don’t forget to split the hotel and airfare prices to ensure you’re receiving the greatest bargain.

Obtain Status Coordinated Across Hotel Loyalty Programs:

Stay with a large enough hotel chain enough times while enrolled in its loyalty program, and you’ll be awarded “elite” status, which comes with additional privileges and freebies. If this happens to you, it’s a good idea to inquire whether that status is transferable to other hotels. Most hotels will gladly give you these benefits. Plus, you won’t have to spend a fortune to get the benefits.  Typically, staying a set number of nights at a specific hotel chain is sufficient.

Make a Friendly Relationship with Hotel Staff:

This is such a simple act that many people don’t give it proper importance. Always get the names of the people on the door or reception, show a little kindness and respect towards the hotel staff. Doing so can help you win their hearts and they will genuinely try to help you, like get an upgraded room, get a late checkout, or help with other little things. Try giving tips to cleaning staff, even if it’s a little bit. This may help you to get impeccable room service for the whole stay.

Charge Your Devices Using the TV:

Some hotel rooms have plenty of outlets, while others just have one plug beneath the bed in an inaccessible location. If you are in this position and need to charge your phone, tablet or any other gadget that can connect to a USB port, you may wish to turn on your TV which includes a USB connection in the back or the side that you may use to charge.
