How To Get The Best Hotel Deals


by Joseph Tranturder


An upcoming large business conference is coming up. You may consider thinking to go a slightly cheaper route by doing everything yourself. But you start to think, is it worth it? By the time you manage to figure out the number of people that are coming, the amount of food you need, where to get a good deal for food, supplying all the utensils, and all the set up and clean up, you might begin to realize that catering maybe is the best option. Below are a few things to think about when you are considering catering for your next business meeting.

Ease of mind

First, you want to make sure that you take time to get everyone together that will be going on your road trip with you. You should be sure that everyone feels like they have a voice in the plan. You want to make sure that everyone is on the same page throughout the planning process. It is important that you know what everyone is looking for. Some people plan their road trip to get to their destination as quickly as possible, while other people choose to stop throughout their trip and enjoy the scenery. While you are deciding what kind of road trip you want to take, don't be afraid to ask everyone's opinion.

Last minute reservations tend to be a bit more expensive and prices can skyrocket as your travel dates get closer. Planning ahead gives you the time you need to shop around and find the right hotel. If you plan well enough in advance you can even plan your stay for when the rates are lowest.

Rather than driving past the rest stops in the area, try stopping at the rest stops and learning about the area that you are in. When you are at a rest stop, there are usually staff members there to help you along or brochures that are there to help you learn about the area. When you can learn information from locals or professionals in the area, you may find hidden gems or even places that you know you are going to return to on another vacation.

Maybe you are a 4 star chef and can cook amazing delicious food in bulk but more likely you know how to cook for a family or in smaller portions. If you aren't confident with your cooking then you should absolutely consider catering. Perhaps checking reviews can help you decide if the food is worth it. Many companies even let you change the menu for what will be catered to meet your taste. You will definitely be satisfied because you chose the meal!

Tireless effort

If you have ever set up and cleaned up for a large event then you know how much work it can be. Not only catering is a great option but it is also a great option in considering a hotel or other place with a beautiful dining hall. The ease of this type of package is amazing. You simply make your order and show up and leave with the rest of the people who attended. It can look very unprofessional when you have to stay after everyone has left to clean up after the meeting. If you want to be able to eat and forget about the mess, than catering is for you.

Book Hotels Early

No matter your destination, a luxury vacation destination, or a hotel in Salt Lake City for a business convention, there is always a good deal to be found if you're willing to look for it. A little bit of work, some research, and a phone call or two can get you the best deal. And remember, sometimes the luxury amenities are worth every single extra penny you spend.
