How to search Hyatt.com for hotels

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

If you are looking to stay in a Hyatt hotel on your next trip, then finding and booking the right Hilton hotel is very easy on Hyatt.com once you get used to their system.

Here is step-by-step guide for how to make using the Hyatt web site as simple as possible.

Step 1—Go to Hyatt.com

Step 2—You can search for hotels on the right-hand side of the screen in the grey search box.

Step 3—Chose how you’d like to search from the three options—by city, state, country or hotel name. If you want more search options lick on the “more search options” link to the left.

Selecting to search by city is best for most people, unless you specifically want to find a hotel very near an airport or a specific attraction. This will give you the widest range of options, organized by how centrally located each hotel is. If you are looking for a Hyatt hotel to stay in along a road-trip, the searching by state also might best suit your needs.

Step 4—Begin to type in the name of the city, and the state should auto-select. If you are traveling to a “Top Destination” you can also select one of the cities from the drop-down menu.

Step 5—
Choose how big of radius from your search destination you’d like to search for hotels.

Step 6—Enter in the dates you’d like to check-in and check-out of your hotel and whether you’d like to search all Hyatt brands.

Step 7—Click “Find it” and a moment later you will get a page with your search results.

How to sort your results to get the best hotel for your needs

There are several ways to sort your results to make finding the right Hilton hotel super easy.

    1. On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see a box that allows you to refine/change your search. You can re-specify the distance you’d like to search as well as choose a specific brand of hotel (like Hyatt Place or Hyatt Hotels and Resorts)
    2. You can also choose to compare up to 4 hotels side by side.

Because there are not going to be numerous Hyatt hotels I every market, for certain search you may find there is only one search result for any given place. For example, a search for Hyatt hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada yielded one result. To expand you search you can do so by modifying it on the box to the right of the results.

View More Details

By clicking on the “View all Rooms/Rates” you will be taken to a screen that gives you more specific information about that selected hotel. Here you can view the photo gallery, go to the hotel’s site, go on a virtual tour, and even choose whether you’d like a king bed or two double beds.

How to choose from the list to find the best hotel for the lowest price

Unlike hotel booking sites like Expedia or hotels.com, the Hyatt web site is only for booking Hyatt hotels, which narrows your search options considerably to begin with. Since those using this site will most likely be looking specifically for a Hyatt hotel in a certain price range, the most important thing to pay attention to before booking your hotel is the location and amenities.

How to search HiExpress.com for hotels

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

If you are looking to book a room at a Holiday Inn Express hotel, then finding the right Holiday Inn Express with a room at the right price on their web site, hiexpress.com should be easy.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make booking your Holiday Inn Expressroom online as easy as possible

Step 1—Go to HIexpress.com

Step 2—The main screen will allow you to search for a hotel based on a few different criteria.

  • A city
  • Address
  • Attraction
  • Airport
  • Route

Unless you are specifically looking for HI Express close to the airport before an early morning flight or looking for a hotel along the route of a road trip, then searching by city is probably you best bet.

Step 4—Type in the name of the city. If there is more than one city named the same thing, you will be given a list of options to choose from.

Step 5—Enter the dates you would like to check-in and check-out of your hotel

Step 6—Enter the number of rooms and number of guests

Step 7—Click “Find Hotel”

You will then be directed to a page with a map on the top showing the locations of all of the Holiday-Inn Express hotels that matched your search criteria, along with the individual listings below.

How to sort your results to get the best hotel for your needs

In the sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen you will see options for how to modify your search results.

  1. You can choose here to only display hotels that have certain amenities. However, remember that the more of these boxes you check, the narrow and more limited your choices become.
  2. You can also choose to only show certain of the Holiday Inn hotel brands, though for most people, leaving all of these boxes checked is probably your best bet.


Narrowing your search results

At the top of the map you will also see an option to limit or expand the search radius. Narrow this if you are looking for a Holiday Inn Express in a specific area or expand it if you want to see all the options for a larger proximity.

If you would rather see the hotels listed without the map, click the tab “Hotels List”
You can also further narrow your results not based on location or amenities. At the top of the list of search results you will more options for sorting where it says “Sort by:”

  1. Quality Score—this will list the hotels with the highest quality score (“excellence”) to the lowest (which seemed to be “commendable”)
  2. Brand—This is really only helpful if you are looking specifically for a Holiday Inn Select or other Holiday Inn hotel, otherwise this is not the best way to sort your results.
  3. Proximity—This will show you your results in order of proximity to whatever search criteria you choose. If you searched by city, this radius will be based from downtown.


How to choose from the list to find the best hotel for the lowest price


If you are looking for even more information than appears in the original listing you can click on “Hotel details” or “Take a Photo/Virtual Tour” at the bottom. Since booking and finding a hotel on Holiday-Inn.com has already narrowed your search criteria much more than you would encounter on, let’s say, Travelocity, finding a hotel within your price range and with the amenities you’d like should be easy. Since you came to Hiexpress.com looking to book a Holiday Inn Express hotel, you already know the price range and type of hotel your search results will net. To find the best hotel that suits you, you should focus on location and whether or not there is a Holiday Inn Express hotel in a good location for the purpose of your trip.

How to search Wyndham.com for hotels

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts is the largest hotel chain in the world. It’s fairly easy to book hotel rooms on wynfham.com, but can also be confusing if this is your first visit. Below is a set-by-step to help you book a hotel on your first visit.

Step 1 – Go to wyndham.com

Step 2 – If you want to search in a specific city, just begin typing the name and you’ll soon see a list of all matching possibilities from which to choose.

Step 3 – Select your check-in and check-out dates by either typing the month and date in the empty box, or clicking on the tiny calendar next to the box, and selecting from there once the calendar is displayed.

Unless you are 100% certain of your dates, it’s usually best to use the calendar feature. It not only takes less time, but it also insures that you are selecting the correct day of the week.

Step 4 – Select the number of rooms you need, as well as the number of adults and children in your group.

Step 5 – If you have a Wyndham request number enter it and you last name in the appropriate boxes.

If you don’t know what a request number is, just ignore it for now. Unless you stay frequently in Wyndham hotels or have already booked, this will be irrelevant.

Step 6 – Click on the orange Search button.

Now you’ll be looking at your results in the area. Despite that Wyndham is one of the world’s largest hotel chains, their hotels are concentrated in certain areas (like the Caribbean), meaning they might only have one hotel located in the area where you are searching. For example, search for Las Vegas, Nevada yielded only one result. It’s very important to look carefully to see if the location is suitable.

Step 7 – If you see a hotel you like, click on the orange Reserve button.

Because Wyndham is has more all-inclusive resorts and has their hotels concentrated in certain areas, you may be better off picking from their list of destinations or special offers. For example, if you are looking to go on a trip to the Dominican Republic, you will be given a list of all the Wyndham resorts in the Dominican. That way you can choose one, like the Viva Wyndham Tangerine all-inclusive resort in Cabarete.

Step 8 – Click on the orange Reserve button next to the room type you prefer, and then enter your details to complete your reservation.

Step 1 – Go to Sidestep.com

Step 2 – Assuming you just want to book a hotel, click on the word “Hotels,” which is the second tab from the left on the top of the page.

Now you are on a page that allows you to search ONLY for a hotel (although you’ll have opportunities to add other things to your trip later on). You should see a button in the top-left corner of the page that is pre-selected to “Hotel only.”

Step 3 – Choose how you want to search, by selecting an entry from the drop-down menu below. Your choices are:

  • A city
  • An address

Selecting to search by city is best for most people, unless you specifically want to find a hotel very near an airport or a specific attraction. This will give you the widest range of options, organized by how centrally located each hotel is.

Step 4 – Begin to type in the city name, and Sidestep will give you the correct choice or a list of possibilities even before you finish typing.

Step 5 – Enter the dates you need in the fields below. You only have to click once into the date field, and Sidestep will pop up a handy calendar, so you can just click on the date with the least amount of effort.

Once your results are displayed, you have several options to help you find the right hotel. The list of hotels will automatically be displayed with the “Popularity” listed in order from highest to lowest.

Your options for searching at this point are:

    1. Popularity – Not sure exactly how this is chosen (as it appears not to correspond with user ratings), so it is probably not the best way to refine your results.
    2. Price – This is the best way to search if your budget is tight, but be careful about hotel locations. Often the cheapest hotels on the list will be well out of the city center or preferred part of town.
    3. Hotel name – This gives you an alphabetic list of all hotels, and is only helpful if you have a specific place in mind.
    4. Star rating – This puts the list into order with the fanciest hotels on top and the most basic places at the end of the list. It’s only helpful if you want the fanciest hotel regardless of other factors.
    5. Distance – This will organize your results based on distance from the center of whichever city you have chosen to search. It is probably not the best way to search, and a much more helpful tool can be using the drop down menu to the right, which lists attractions in the city you have chosen.
    On the right-hand side of the screen you will also see a “smart sort” box, which allows you to narrow and refine your results based on several different criteria:
  • Price
  • Landmarks or Neighborhoods
  • Star Rating
  • Hotel Name contains

  • Property Type

View hotels on a map

This can be extremely helpful if you want to be certain your hotel is close to a beach, landmark, or city center. The map only shows 25 hotels at a time though, so this can be very confusing if you are searching in a popular area. After the first map is displayed, you can change the search criteria to any of the above, and it will show you the top 25 selections based on that. To go back to the normal list, just click where the small map was, on the link that says, “list of hotels.”

How to choose from the list to find the best hotel for the lowest price

    1. Pay close attention to the price, the star rating, and the user reviews for each hotel you are considering.
    2. Be certain the hotel has an acceptable location. Often, the cheapest hotels are cheap only because they are a long way from the area most people prefer to stay in.
    3. Especially if you are sorting by price, it’s extremely helpful to look down the list and onto the next page for what might be a much better option. It’s very common that a 2-star hotel might be $99, and then a 4-star hotel is $109 in a better location. If you concentrate too much on the lowest price you can miss some great bargains just below or on the next page of results.

Now click on the SELECT button next to your hotel and room choice, and you are ready to complete the reservation at the best hotel for you.

    6. You can also narrow your search by hotel brand. The best prices for each hotel brand will also be listed.
    7. The last option to narrow your search is by amenities. If you want to make sure your dog can stay or that the hotel has a pool, you’ll definitely want to narrow your search this way.

How to chose the best hotel for the best deal

    1. Pay close attention to the price, the star rating, and the user reviews for each hotel you are considering.
    2. Be certain the hotel has an acceptable location. Often, the cheapest hotels are cheap only because they are a long way from the area most people prefer to stay in. You are probably better off spending a few extra bucks and getting a hotel closest to your desired location.
    3. Especially if you are sorting by price, it’s extremely helpful to look down the list and onto the next page for what might be a much better option. It’s very common that a 2-star hotel might only cost $10 or $20 less than a much better 4-star hotel in a better location. If you concentrate too much on the lowest price you can miss some great bargains just below or on the next page of results.

Now click on the SELECT button next to your hotel and room choice, and you are ready to complete the reservation at the best hotel for you.

How to search Orbitz for hotels

How to search Orbitz.com for hotels

Finding a good deal on a hotel using Orbitz.com is quite easy, once you get used to their system. Their main page is so jammed with offers and advertisements that it can be difficult to figure out how to book a simple hotel reservation.

Below we’ll give you a step-by-step guide, along with some valuable tips for saving money, to make using Orbitz easy as possible.

Step 1—Go to Orbitz.com

Step 2 – Assuming you just want to book a hotel, click on the word “Hotels,” which is the third tab from the left on the top of the page.

Step 3 – Choose how you would like to search. You can either enter the city name or airport code in the main search box, or you can click on “Search by” for more options, such as:

City
Address
Point of Interest
Airport

Selecting to search by city is best for most people, unless you specifically want to find a hotel very near an airport or a specific attraction. This will give you the widest range of options, organized by how centrally located each hotel is.

Step 4 – Begin typing the name of the city and Orbitz will give you the correct choice or list of possibilities before you finish typing.

Step 5 – Enter the dates you need in the fields below. You only have to click once into the date field, and Orbitz will pop up a handy calendar, so you can just click on the date with the least amount of effort.

How to sort your results to get the best hotel for your needs

Once your results are displayed, you have several options to help you find the right hotel. The list of hotels will automatically be displayed with the “Best Value” listed in order from highest to lowest, but usually this just puts expensive hotels on top, with no real reason given.

Your options for searching at this point are:
1. Best Value – This tends to put pricier hotels at top, so make sure you scroll down to see what other options are available
2. On Sale – This tab will list hotels that are not necessarily the cheapest (and often are not the cheapest), but have special savings or promotional prices and discounts available. Although this is not the best way to navigate your search results, it is worth checking out to see if there are any great deals.
3. Lowest Price – This is the best way to search if your budget is tight, but be careful about hotel locations. Often the cheapest hotels on the list will be well out of the city center or preferred part of town.
In the blue sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen, you will also notice there are more ways to refine your search results.
1. Hotel name – This gives you an alphabetic list of all hotels, and is only helpful if you have a specific place in mind.
2. Hotel Chain –This is a good way to search if you are looking for a specific hotel chain or bran of hotel
If you click on “show additional options” you can narrow your search even further by specifying star rating, amenities you would like, promotional codes or part of a hotel name.
View hotels on a map

On the top of your search results page you will also see a map of the destination you have chosen to search. The map will point out general points of interest. For example, for Las Vegas, the map shows the airport, the strip and more. To see your search results displayed on the map for a certain area, click on the neighborhood you’d like to see displayed. This can be extremely helpful if you want to be certain your hotel is close to a beach, landmark, or city center. The map only shows 25 hotels at a time though, so this can be very confusing if you are searching in a popular area. After the first map is displayed, you can change the search criteria to any of the above, and it will show you the top 25 selections based on that

How to choose from the list to find the best hotel for the lowest price
1. Pay close attention to the price, the star rating, and the user reviews for each hotel you are considering.
2. Be certain the hotel has an acceptable location. Often, the cheapest hotels are cheap only because they are a long way from the area most people prefer to stay in.
3. Especially if you are sorting by price, it’s extremely helpful to look down the list and onto the next page for what might be a much better option. It’s very common that a 2-star hotel might be $99, and then a 4-star hotel is $109 in a better location. If you concentrate too much on the lowest price you can miss some great bargains just below or on the next page of results.

Now click on the SELECT button next to your hotel and room choice, and you are ready to complete the reservation at the best hotel for you.
