SAVE ON LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS HOTELS
1. KNOW WHAT ROOM AMENITIES TO EXPECT: Little Rock hotels seem to
missing a few common room amenities we’ve learned to expect. Most
rooms do not have refrigerators, safes, and/or tea/coffee pots. Most hotels
allow refrigerators to be requested for an additional fee.
2. WATCH FOR HIDDEN AND UNEXPECTED FEES: Most Little Rock
hotels charge for local calls and internet access. Watch out for other hidden
fees such as one hotel's advertised "free in-room computer." Yes, use of the
computer is free, but the internet charge is very expensive. Some of the
larger hotels charge a daily "resort" fee beginning at $5 per person, per day.
3. BE AWARE OF ROLLAWAY/COT/CRIB FEES: Before you request an extra
rollaway, cot or crib check the price. Little Rock hotel rates range from
$15-$25 plus 9% sales tax PER NIGHT for rollaways, cots and cribs.
4. BOOK YOUR LITTLE ROCK HOTEL ROOM AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE FOR
SPECIAL EVENTS: Don't wait for hotel prices to go down because they
probably won't. Little Rock hotels sometimes book up months in advance
for special events.
5. ASK ABOUT EXTRA PERSON CHARGES BEFORE BOOKING: Rates
quoted for Little Rock hotels are usually for two adults, additional guests
are charged in average of $15-$25 per person, per night for guests 13 or
older. Some hotels charge for 3rd and 4th guests in a room, regardless of
age. What at first may sound like a bargain, may actually turn out to be an
expensive hotel room. Know your facts before you go so you won't be
surprised.
6. CHECK OUT PRICELINE IF YOU NEED A SHORT-TERM HOTEL ROOM-
Several Little Rock hotels are listed on Priceline, but be very careful when
bidding or you might end up in an undesirable area. Check out informational
websites like www.betterbidding.com for information on how to bid.
7. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most Little Rock
restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their dinners. Also be
aware the wait to get into restaurants at night during the busy season can be
quite long.
8. ASK ABOUT HOTEL PARKING CHARGES: Before you rent a car, ask
about hotel parking charges which may run you $15-$25 per day. It may be
cheaper to forego a rental car and take a cab to your hotel instead.
9. COMPARE PRICES ON SEVERAL INTERNET SITES BEFORE YOU
BOOK: Room prices for Little Rock hotels are all over the place for any given
night. Check several internet sites before booking. After finding the best
price, be sure to read the site’s cancellation policies. Sometimes it’s better
to pay more and received a flexible cancellation policy.
