How to search Travelocity for hotels

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Finding a good deal on a hotel using Travelocity.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 Travelocity as easy as possible.

Step 1 — Go to Travelocity.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:

Address
Points 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 Travelocity 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 Travelocity 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 “Travelocity picks” 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: (image of drop down )

  1. Travelocity picks – Not recommended unless you are in a real hurry
  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. 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.
  4. Hotel name – This gives you an alphabetic list of all hotels, and is only helpful if you have a specific place in mind.
  5. City Name – This option groups the listed hotels by the specific city in which they are located, alphabetically by city. If there is a particular suburb where you’d like to stay, this can be helpful.
  6. Traveler opinion – This new option sorts hotels based on satisfaction of previous guests. The review averages are displayed for each hotel no matter how you search, but this is helpful if you want to see hotels in an order based on the highest review averages first.
  7. View hotels on a map

    On the main search results screen you’ll see a tab “Results on a Map,” and by clicking on that tab you’ll be able to see all the listed hotels plotted on a map of the area you are searching. 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.”
    Comparing Hotels

    Another helpful tool to refine your search results is by comparing up to 4 hotels in a side-by-side view.

    Step 1 — Check the boxes “compare hotel” next to the hotel listings and then press “compare now.”
    Step 2 — You will be given a new screen listing the hotels and their locations, prices and various amenities side-by side. You will also see distances from the airport and cost for airport transportation as well as brief explanation of the hotel’s location in the city you have chosen.

    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.

How to use Travelodge.com to book a hotel room

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Travelodge is one of the larger hotel chains in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland, but using their website to make a simple reservation can be challenging at first. They fill the main screen with so many offers and graphics that it can be hard to even find the search features. This guide will help you find the best room for the lowest price, with the least amount of hassle.

Step 1 – Go to Travelodge.com

Step 2 – If you want to search by city name, begin typing it into the Destination box. If you’d rather search by airport or attraction name, click on the appropriate button on the top of the page, and then begin typing that information.

Before you get more than 3 or 4 letters into typing, you’ll probably see a list of all matching possibilities on the right. Just click on the best choice there and move to the next step.

Step 3 – Enter your check-in and check-out dates.

If you click into the empty text box, you can type in the numbers for the month and day, so for November 15, you’d type in “11/15”. Or, if you click on the tiny calendar next to the search box, you’ll be able to choose right from a calendar page. This is a better way to choose because you’ll be certain of the day of the week you are checking, which will reduce the possibility of booking the wrong night.

Step 4 – Select the number of rooms you want, as well as the number of adults, teens, and children in your room.

Step 5 – Select your rate plan

This is where it gets a bit confusing. By leaving the dropdown menu where it is the site will show you the “best available” rate, but it seems to do this no matter what you select. They also give you choices of packages, promotion, AAA, AARP, and Government prices, but in almost every case they show the same prices anyway. It can’t hurt to select one of the discount methods, but don’t be too confused when your rate comes up the same with or without it.

Step 6 – Examine your choices, carefully

Travelodge is a large chain, but unlike some others, they tend not to have too many hotels in each city, so you’ll usually only have one or two choices in the area you selected. The important thing here is to be very careful about the location of the hotel you are about to select. In some cases, like Miami Beach, Florida, for example, Travelodge only has one hotel, and it’s many miles from the area that most visitors prefer to be in.

The map information on this page is good, so make sure you know the location before you book. In many cases their best-located hotel is not in a good location at all, so you might be better off searching for another hotel chain.

Step 7 – Once you’ve chosen a hotel click on “Show rates and rooms”

When you reach this screen you’ll be able to see all the different room and rate types available at this hotel for the dates you’ve chosen. Be careful to see what’s included, because some rates will come with free Wi-Fi or a free breakfast, while another room with a similar price comes with neither.

Step 8 – Click on Reserve, and complete your booking with your details.

How to search loewshotels.com for hotel rooms

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Searching for hotel rooms on loewshotels.com is fairly straightforward, but there are still a few things you should know about before you confirm your room. We’ll go over the specifics of how to find the best room at the best price just below.

Step 1 – Go to loewshotels.com

Step 2 – Select your hotel of choice in the Destinations drop-down box, just above the check-in date. Loews has fewer than 20 hotels in their chain, but they have three different hotels in Orlando, so it’s important to find the right one when searching for that city.

Step 3 – Enter your check-in and check-out dates.

Once you click your cursor into the date field, a helpful calendar will pop up, and you’ll be able to choose your date knowing exactly which day of the week it falls on.

Step 4 – Choose the number of rooms you need, along with the number of adults and children in your party.

Step 5 – Click on the Check Availability button at the bottom of the search box.

Step 6 – Choose your room

Once the results page is displayed, you’ll be looking at all the different room types and room rates available for that time period.

Study this list carefully because you may otherwise miss the best deals. The site will usually list “Loews Best Rate” on top of the list, and while this is usually the cheapest, it’s often not nearly as good as other deals below. For example, if you see a “Super Value Package”, it might be a slightly higher price, but also include free internet access, free breakfast for two people, and even free parking in some hotels.

There will usually be other packages available as well. They all include a room, but some of them include meals, spa treatments, or other benefits. Check the prices of these carefully, as they will often include something of a $50 value for only $10 or $20 more than the normal room price.

Step 7 – Select your room package from the list.

Once you’ve selected which rate package you prefer, click on the Select Room button on the right, and it will take you to another screen where you can select your exact room type.

Step 8
– Select your exact room type from the list.

As long as the Loews you are searching for has multiple rooms available for the nights you are searching for, you’ll see the full list of the different room types here. It’s usually the number and size of the beds that are the difference, but in some cases you can also find a larger room with a better view down this list. Unlike the previous screen that had bargains hidden among the choices, you pretty much get what you pay for with this choice.

Step 9 – Click on Book It, and then complete your reservation with your details.

Loews has only 4 and 5-star hotels with excellent locations, so as long as you can afford it you can’t go wrong at any of their properties. If you can get a special package or some other good deal in the process, then all the better.

How to search hojo.com for hotel rooms

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Howard Johnson’s is part of the enormous Wyndam hotels chain, which is the largest in the world. It’s fairly easy to book hotel rooms on hojo.com, but can also be confusing if this is your first visit. Below are the simplest possible instructions to book a room at the best possible price in the smallest number of steps.

Step 1 – Go to hojo.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. If you prefer to search by airport or attraction name, select the appropriate button above the empty box, and then type in that name.

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, teens, and children in your group.

Step 5 – Select a rate plan for possible savings.

If you don’t change anything then the site will show you their best available rate, but if you choose AAA, AARP, Government, Promotional, or Special, you may find some special prices on the results screen. This can be confusing because most of these special rates aren’t mentioned until after the first results screen, so it usually looks like no discounts are available, even when they are.

Step 6 – Click on the orange Search button.

Now you’ll be looking at your results in the area. Since Howard Johnson’s isn’t a huge chain they might only have one hotel located in the area where you are searching. It’s very important to look carefully to see if the location is suitable. Howard Johnson tends to have most of their hotel near major highways, so if you are looking for something in the city center, you might be disappointed.

This is also true of airports and attractions. Howard Johnson might have a hotel with a perfect location for you, but if they don’t they’ll usually show the closest one, even if it’s many miles from where you’d like to be.

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

At this point you’ll see all the different rooms available, along with whatever discounts might be included based on what you selected in the beginning. You can try going back and changing the discount plan you’ve chosen, but in most cases you’ll see the exact same price on the results screen anyway.

Check the room types carefully before you finalize your reservation. Some may have one large bed instead of two smaller beds, and other room types might include free internet or a free breakfast, so it pays to examine this closely for the best combination for you.

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

How to search fourseasons.com for hotels

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 12:38 am

Four Seasons is one of the finest hotel chains in the world, and one of the few where a four-star hotel with a great location is the least you can expect. The quality of the hotels themselves is also reflected in the look of the website, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to make a reservation at one of their hotels. Their system can be a bit confusing, so below we’ll give you the instructions to make a reservation with the fewest possible steps.

Step 1 – Go to fourseasons.com

You’ve got two main choices at this point. If you want to check out the features and a summary for a hotel before you look for room rates, click on “Find a hotel or resort” on top of the column on the right of the page.

If you know exactly which hotel you’d like to reserve and you don’t need more information about the hotel, click on “Rates and reservations” in the column on the top-right of the page.

In either case, you’ll now be looking at the entire list of Four Seasons hotels around the world.

Step 2 – Click on the hotel you are interested in

Note that certain places, like Los Angeles and Hawaii, have more than one location, so you’ll want to choose the best location from this list.

If you started by looking for more details on each hotel, you’ll now be looking at a photo from the hotel, along with enough details about the hotel to help determine whether this is where you’d like to stay or not. If this hotel is one you’d like to stay in, click on “Rates and reservations” in the left column.

If you began looking for the rates and reservations at each hotel, you are already looking at the main calendar, and ready to check your dates.

Step 3 – Choose your arrival and departure dates

You’ll be looking at a place to type in your arrival date, and then your departure date, but it’s easiest just to click on a date on the calendar on the right, and it will automatically be entered on the left side.

Step 4 – Choose the number of rooms you’d like, as well as the number of adults and children in your party.

Even if you are booking several rooms, you enter the numbers for your whole group, rather than in each room.

Step 5 – Click on Check Availability

Now you are looking at your search results. Fourseasons.com shows the results in a very simple way, with regular rooms on top, and any applicable specials or packages below that. It’s very important to scan ALL the deals for special or package rates, since they will often save you quite a bit of money, and will sometimes include something else for the same price.

Step 6 – Select the room type you prefer, and click Continue

Now you are looking at the best deal you’ve been able to find. Keep in mind that the room rate you are looking at is “per night” rather than for the entire stay.

Step 7 – Select a room type, and click Continue

At most Four Seasons hotels they have multiple room types, with a varying amount of comfort and number of beds. You’ll see the price for each kind, and after you select your choice click on Continue.

Step 8 – Complete your reservation

You’ll be looking at a summary page, showing the room you’ve selected at the hotel you’ve chosen, with all extra taxes and fees listed. Look at this information very carefully because it’s quite easy to get something wrong before you get to this screen. Once you are satisfied, click on Continue again, and you can enter your credit card details and complete your transaction.

  2. Trying to find a hotel your friend suggested? You can search by hotel name as well.
  3. Under “Property Types” you will find a drop down menu with the options Hotel, Suite, Vacation Home or Condo, Resort, Bed and Breakfast, All-Inclusive. If you are open to the property type, you can also choose the default (All Types).
  4. If you insist on having parking a gym or a pool at your hotel, then you can select specific Hotel Amenities in the next drop down menu
  5. Selecting a price range is probably one of the best and easiest ways to narrow your results with the tabs the move into place along the sliding scale of prices.
  6. The other sliding scales allow you to narrow your search by star rating and guest rating. While these measures are probably only helpful in cases when you are looking for a 4 or 5-star hotel, it can be a good way to sort your results.

View Hotels on a Map


On the right hand side of screen next to the search tools you’ll see a small picture of a map, and by clicking on that little map you’ll be able to see all the listed hotels plotted on a map of the area you are searching. 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. You can also reset the map if you’d like to change the search criteria. To go back to the normal list, just click “Hide the Map.”

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.
