CALL HOTEL DIRECTLY & SAVE MONEY

March 6, 2016 by Laurie Deppa Leave a Comment


We needed a little weekend get away as Brian’s dad recently passed and Brian is leaving soon for a long work trip.  Oh, yes and we rented our house on Airbnb this weekend. (Great way to get a free vacation).  We LOVE the Hyatt Chesapeake Resort and Spa – it’s only about 70 minutes from Annapolis and has so much to offer no matter what the season.

I looked up online for rates and ended up calling the hotel who linked me thrugh to reservations.  They offered a $220 room or a handicapped room with no shower.  I wasn’t interested.  Then I called back and got hung up on.  I called the front desk and insisted that they help me with the reservation.  The staff person was great and offered us the government rate of $111 and said probably could upgrade us as we are platinum Hyatt members (we got through a status match with Hilton).  We got to the hotel and they upgraded us to a junior suite for $111.

We ended up having an amazing weekend and still made money.
