Check out the location of your hotel. Accommodations near public transportation are usually more affordable because they don't require guests to rent cars.


Consider using points programs.


Check websites for discounts. There are plenty of websites out there that offer great discounts. These sites compare prices across hundreds of properties and let you choose the ones that suit your budget and preferences.
