			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>﻿﻿﻿Finding A Grand Rapids Hotel is  not difficult if you have  a  little time,  computer internet access, and  have some basis knowledge  on the questions to ask reservation  salesclerk.﻿<P><br />
The hotel room rate can vary greatly, depending on many  factors, you just need to know what you are looking for.  As a savvy  traveler, your mission is to find the best  value hotel room. If you go  into this process blind,,  then you are almost always going to pay more.  Here, we&#8217;re going to give you suggestions on how you can use the   awesome, unharnessed power of the Internet—and also your own  charming  personality, and  persuasion, to find  the room of and for your dreams.<P><br />
<strong>First,</strong> decide what you are  searching for, is it  free  breakfast, pool, pet friendly, or just a convenient location.<P><br />
﻿ ﻿<strong>Next</strong>,  compare the advertised hotel rates with travel  websites..  Typically, you  will find the rates 25% lower than the   advertised hotel rate.   Note the lowest price  you have found for the  hotel(s) you are  concerned in, as well as the name of the website   giving that special price.<P><br />
<strong>Third,</strong> when you find some possibilities,  look at the travel  websites for customer feed back which will give you more insight on the  cheapest price.  Also,  think about which, if any, hotel amenities you  may want without spending much more money.   For example, if you would  like a  a business room, fitness center or internet access, it may be  worth paying the little bit extra.<P><br />
<strong>Four</strong>, call the hotel rep before you book online and ask if they  can give you a upgrade or discount.While speaking to the hotel, ask,   &#8220;Is it possible for me to get a discount?&#8221; or &#8220;I was hoping to pay a  little less.&#8221;Remember,  the nicer you are, the better chance you can get  an upgrade or better rate.   Call after the reservation office has  closed for the evening; the front desk clerk, if he or she is not busy,  is more likely to give you a lower rate than the reservation office or  the hotel manager is.<P><br />
<strong>Lastly</strong>, if  you still are unhappy with the rate they offer, use  your research for a cheaper rate on the competing hotel and  ask if they  would match it.  Most hotels will  match the lowest rate  you have  found on the internet. }  Additionally, many chains have programs in  which they offer big discounts if you find a rate lower than their  lowest rate.  Many  chains have a Lowest Rate Guarantee program, you  just have to look for it.  If you find a rate lower than the lowest one  they  are advertising on their website, they will give you an even  more  deeply discounted rate.  Be clear on  incisively what the  total cost  of the room would be, then book away!<P><br />
<strong>In Conclusion,</strong> While there are many sites on the Internet that  will tell you that you can get the best rate through them,in the end,  the best way to get a  a cheap hotel room in Grand Rapids—that  is not a  dump—is to do some  sleuthing on your own.  Just use your persuasive  power of a phone call to the hotel itself. Remember:  it will not hurt  to ask. Of course, you can also  save a ton of money on the room you  want.  Remember, No hotel wants their beds empty.<P></p>
