5 tips to get upgraded at the hotel
The hotel room you reserved is good, but you would not be against the idea of the exchange against a more luxurious room? Here are some tips to get you upgraded without putting your hand to your wallet!
Make believe it's your birthday
In general, people who have something to celebrate are more likely to be outclassed . By cons, beware anyway because it happens more and more that your identity card is claimed at the reception when you arrive at a hotel . At the limit, if you are accompanied, believe that you are celebrating your wedding anniversary ... It is unlikely that you are asked for your marriage certificate!
Join a loyalty program
If you travel regularly, it may be wise to opt for a chain of hotels that has several establishments around the world , and so take advantage of their loyalty program. By joining this "club", there is more chance that you are outclassed.
Choose a new hotel
Stay in a hotel that has just opened, or recently changed ownership . The staff should strive to make the best of you and make a good reputation.
Travel out of season
In low season, travelers are much less present, and hotels more inclined to place you in a more luxurious room than the one reserved. Do not hesitate to postpone your stays abroad for a few days, to avoid holiday periods .
Arrive as late as possible
Arriving at the end of the day, it is likely that the hotel had to face cancellations . If more luxurious rooms have been vacant, you may be allocated one.
