As the world is celebrating the spookiest of Holidays-Halloween, all the famous streets are soon going to be bustling with tourists. The festival brings one of the busiest times for hotels as families, gang of girls and band of boys want to head towards the spookily amusing cities. But as the hotels are competing to draw in guests, you still can manage to get a hotel room in your budget. Follow the below mentioned tips to save more on your Halloween hotel rooms. 

Travel towards the beginning of the festival

Consider visiting your favorite Halloween destination towards the beginning of the month rather than the peak time. The hotels increase their rates due to less availability as the Halloween eve approaches. You can still enjoy the parades, costume parties and several spooky rituals as most of the cities celebrate the Halloween for the entire month. That way you can also avoid too much crowd and feel a little relaxed.

Call the hotel directly

Calling a hotel directly can sometimes save you substantially rather than making a reservation at a booking website. Dial your favorite hotel or hotel chain, or the hotel which you liked on a third party website and simply negotiate. Check if you can get a better deal than the website is offering or at least some freebies. 

Check Halloween hotel packages

These deals can come really handy to find you a cheaper stay. Along with a hotel room in your budget, Halloween hotel packages also provide you with some amazing arrangements like dressing you up for a Halloween party, pumpkin carving and access to some eminent attractions of the city. You might have a memorable Halloween experience and you might owe it to your hotel.

Book a less known hotel

This is a great way to save on your hotel room fare as you are going to spend most of the time exploring the haunted spots and attending parades dressed up like a spooky character. These can be small hotels, bed & breakfasts or vacation rentals. Reading the reviews of these places is advisable as a smelly room or an untidy washroom can ruin your festive mood. 

Know the total cost

While making your hotel reservation, check what all fees the base rate comprises. Check what Wi-Fi, rollaway bed, parking and others may cost you if they are not included. Do your calculations before you book your hotel room. If it doesn’t include the meal which you plan to have at the hotel, then check the food cost in that area before making your reservation.
