Simple Tips on How to Get a Hotel Upgrade

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Frankly speaking, a lot of people want to take hotel upgrade when it is possible and below there are a few tips for you:

- You have to keep your cool. Remember that hotel staff does not react well to a guest having a temper tantrum in front of them or on the phone. Of course, they are polite, but they will give you the least amount possible in order to satisfy your poor temper.

- Besides, you could join the loyal programs. You need to know that these are the major source of information for how well the hotel staff can maintain their standards. In addition, it is a great idea to join before you arrive at the hotel as you could be upgraded just before your arrive.

- You can complain, but you have to remember that hotel staff likes to hear people complain. In fact, it gives them an opportunity to know what is actually wrong and allow them to fix it for the next guests. You have to keep in mind that hotels are in the business to make money, but it is not possible to make money if guests are not happy.

When you check in, go to your room and check it out. After that you can call the desk and complain about something. In fact, you can complain about anything and make sure that you say that this is not what you were expecting from the hotel. And you can ask if there is another room available and when hotel staff gives you options and prices, you can complain about the prices for the upgrades.

- Another good way to get upgrade is to arrive late. Keep in mind that if you come after sever or even eight at night, you will be most likely upgraded for free or small fee just since it is unlikely that the hotel will be selling than room to a walk-in anyway.
