Where hotels are hiding their lowest rates now
Hotels are dishing deals to lure guests. Consider that Expedia , the largest seller of hotel rooms online, is currently holding its biggest ever hotel sale . About 5,200 hotels are offering discounted rooms on Expedia right now, up from 2,000 hotels during the site’s summer sale last year—and merely 800 during the summer before that. But the absolute best hotel deals—even deeper than the ones on Expedia—are harder to find. That’s because many hotel chains are discounting only selected rooms at selected hotels, and they’re posting them online in only limited places. During the current Great Recession, large chains like Hyatt and Motel 6 are not having huge, “We’ve Put All of Our Rooms on Sale for Half Price for the Next Month” sales. (A recent Starwood sale that lasted a few days was a rare “half-off everything” exception.) The reason for the lack of big sales?
