Austin Discount Hotels

By Chris Linch

You can always find discounts on hotels in the Austin area including 4 & 5 star hotels. You can get up to a 80% discount off the rate the hotel charges when you walk in. Sometimes it is luck, sometimes you just need to do your research and you could land a fives star property for the price of a Super 8. You increase your chances of finding a good discount by booking early and finding an non refundable purchase rate ahead of time.

If you are part of a group visiting the city then you might be eligible for group discounts. They are usually offered when you are booking nine or more rooms, and everyone is arriving and leaving on the same day. Some of the smaller hotels will give a discount on less rooms.

There is an enormous amount of research that can be done on the internet when you are looking for a cheap hotel room. If you do this research before you book you will easily find the lowest rate. Most websites also include reviews of hotels where their previous customers have left comments about the hotel.

Not all hotels have discounted rates. You also want to validate the services offered by hotels which are offering the discounts. There should be plenty of information provided on the internet about any individual hotel. To make up for the discount the hotel may have removed breakfast and you end up spending the same amount as a hotel that is more expensive that includes it.

I think the best way to find discounts on hotels in the Austin area is to book well in advance and book online. Most websites out there offer the lowest rates, even lower than the hotel, and will match a rate if you find a lower rate before you check in.
