Insider advice on securing free hotel room upgrades
The "super secret hotel insider" at HotelChatter.com is offering up some tips on how to get free room upgrades at hotels. Among the advice: Be nice, and ask nicely. This sounds like a no-brainer, but it is the best. If you show up at the hotel, friendly and patient, ask if you can be upgraded. Tell them that you are in no hurry, and that you would be happy to wait for a better room to be available later. The more difficult you are and the more difficult you make my job, the less willing I am to go out of my way for you. And ...Tip big. Obviously the best way to get noticed in a hotel is to tip big. If you reserve the cheapest room category - say $250/night, discreetly slip the guy at the front desk a couple of twenties. Chances are you'll be put in the best room. This is worth it, especially if you're staying for more than a couple of days. Click through to Hotel Chatter for more.
