Saving On Hotel Prices By Choosing The Best Day Of The Week To Stay

     Did you know that the price of your hotel room will fluctuate based on the day that you stay there.  Depending on the city that you are staying in, hotel rates can be higher or lower on the weekends.  When you travel to a city that has an abundance of tourist attractions or a beach, the rates will typically be higher on the weekend.  Some of these cities include San Diego, New Orleans, Montreal, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Venice, Savannah, and Las Vegas.  If you plan on traveling to a city that is more well known for business than for pleasure, than the rates are higher on the week days and one can find bargains on the weekends.  Some of these type of cities include Brussels, Toronto, Milan, Berlin, and Madrid.  Now if you plan on seeing more than one city on your next trip, you should make every effort to schedule around the lower rates.  Thus, if you are planning to visit the "Low Countries", then head to Brussels on the weekend, when the European Union and The United Nations people are out of town and then take that canal ride in Amsterdam during the week when "the locals" (German and French tourists) are busy at work.  This strategy will reduce your expenses, especially for business style hotels, and help you minimize crowds for museums and chic restaurants.  This strategy can be utilized when you travel to Toronto and Montreal, Barcelona and Madrid, and to a lesser extent Milan and Rome (Romes rates rarely drop, because of the government business on week days and a plethora of site seeing opportunities all week long), as well as Savannah and Atlanta (like Rome, Atlanta's rates are fairly consistent).  Thus, by manipulating your itinerary around these rates you can save yourself as much as 25% on your next stay! And who wouldn't want to save some money on their next hotel room.
