I have traveled far and wide and in my many months of travel, i have noticed a peculiar thing with people. I find that many people are not interested in bargaining for good deals and don't try even before they start. It seems as if bartering has been lost on many people as is the art of comparison shopping. Did you know that every coin that you save when you go on vacation when making purchases on items such as food, accommodation and transport is an extra money that can be used for other things such as adventure and entertainment.
In the great city of New York, there is lots that you can do here as you conduct your business or vacation that you will not find time to be bored. New York city has so much to offer that its hard to know where to begin. Since New York is an expensive city and finding cheap hotels in New York city requires effort, I would recommend that you start saving early before landing here. One of the ways to do this is to take time each day and take notes of the people you have had a chance to talk to and the offers you came across in terms of price & perks for accommodations.
New York is a competitive city and as a result, many hotels in New York bend over backwards to please potential customers by offering them perks in order to get business from them. Many managers of these hotels aggressively promote the hotels they are managing because they know that the more rooms they sell the more money the hotel makes thus keeping their own jobs secure
If you are aggressive enough and make notes of the hotels you've had a chance to visit and make tentative arrangements with, you will most likely work out a deal with one of them that is better that what they originally offered you.
If you try to secure the deal on a weekend that is popular for travel, it might probably not work out very well so it wouldn't be a wise idea to look for accommodation in New York on popular holiday dates or an extended weekend for your trip. On the other hand, the rest of the weekends are easy to get unless some popular event is taking place on that particular weekend that will pull in a huge crowd to the local hotel industry.
Remember when I said that lots of folks don't like to bargain and would rather give up on good deals? Well, not only are you able to get better deals by doing a comparison of different hotels in New York, but can be lucky to get free perks such as tickets, meals, tickets to shows or even spa packages at hotels and gift certificates at the hotel gift store. Don't be surprised at the length at which hotel managers will go in order to have you stay at their New York hotel. The manager are willing to incur small losses because they know that they will be will make up more money in add-ons and other purchases that you will make.
Please remember to be a generous tipper as some New York hotel managers can get angry and confuse being frugal or cheap. Being cheap is one thing and being frugal another. If you treat the staff badly they will remember you long after you're gone! But lets not go there as that is another long story all together. The trick is being polite and nice when dealing with hotel managers over the telephone and going with your best deal.
Finally, remember that getting the cheapest room is not necessarily getting the best deal. For example, if you are getting one or two meals per day while at the hotel and yet on the other hand are only paying five or ten dollars more a day, then its logical that you are getting a very fair bargain particularly if one of the meals is dinner.
