Most of us had the experience of dealing with hotel personnel. Most of them went well, but for those frequent travelers, there is certainly once or maybe more times that you got annoyed with the service that you got.

While there are definitely times that it is their fault, we can never deny the fact that most instances would have been prevented if you know some hotel tricks.

One best hotel advice that I can give you is to always be nice to the hotel receptionists and make sure that you get to know the staff in the hotel. The trick of slipping up some $20 bill on a receptionist’s hand is handy and all, but most of the time, asking in a nicely manner can do the trick. Not much of hotel secrets, but effective nonetheless. Getting to know the staff also brings you a long way, especially if you always come to stay in the hotel. Once the staff recognizes you, there is a big chance of you getting specials, upgrades, or extras with no additional cost.

If you want to get the best deals, it would also be advisable to use a hotel guide agent. These agents can have access to unpublished deals that no one else would know about.
