Six reasons why it is advantageous to book your room directly with the Hotel, rather than go through the 3rd Party internet booking sites.

1. You pay more, even if the room rate is the same all 3rd party internet web sites have a booking fee/surcharge which varies from $3 to $5 per room, and sometimes the rate is even higher. It is hardly ever lower as proclaimed by these internet web sites on their TV ads.
    
2. The reservation is not flexible. In case you ever need to cancel or make any changes the 3rd party internet web sites will charge you a $25 fee,while in most cases if you cancel or make changes before the hotel cancellation deadline, almost all hotels will do it free of charge. Additionally with 3rd party internet web sites, if you need to cancel the same day of arrival, you will not be able to do so, and they will forfeit the full 1st days room rent & tax, while sometimes if you call the Hotel directly they may decide to cancel the same day arrival reservation at no charge, but with the 3rd party internet web sites you have no chance of a refund for the 1st night.
    
3. Your room type is not guaranteed. The 3rd party internet web sites will not guarantee you a non-smoking or a smoking allowed room. They will allow you to request a particular room type, but if the hotel is busy you will get what is available, but if you book directly with the hotel you are informed exactly what you are getting.
    
4. If you need to call for any information or changes you have to go through the motions of press 1, then press 2, then press 6, and then on hold for who knows how long, but if you call the hotel direct, in most cases a live person will answer the phone within a few rings and get your request taken care quickly.
    
5. With 3rd party internet web sites your credit card is charged for the full amount immediately, but if you book directly with the hotel your credit card is authorized or charged only upon check in.
    
6. Most hotel chains now have a rewards program, if you book through 3rd party internet web sites, you are not eligible for these reward points, but booking directly with the Hotel makes you eligible for these reward points.

The best way is to use the internet 3rd party websites is to locate the hotel then go directly to the our website, and either book directly with the hotel website or call the hotel from the telephone number listed on the hotels web site.

Please try the above and you will be glad you did, because there are a lot of advantages with booking your reservation directly with the hotel, a few of which are mentioned above.
