There are a couple of important hotel booking tips that you need to know to be able to score some free upgrades when you travel.

The first one of the hotel upgrade tips is timing. The easiest way to get something good is by going on an off peak. It would also be best if you check in between 4-6 pm when the hotel staff is doing inventory of rooms that they have to work with. This is when front desk already has an idea if there have been cancellations and no-shows of the day.

Booking a middle price ranged room also helps. If there is an available room higher than what you book, you can get the higher chances of being given the next best room available.

Asking is also good; however, it can be tricky as you do not want to sound like you are begging for it. Make sure that you form a good rapport first before doing this.

Loyalty will also bring you a long way. When hotel staff realizes that you have been a frequent visitor of their hotel, they will give you some perks that they would not normally offer anybody. Make it also a point that you get to know the managers as well.
