Introduction

Minneapolis derives its name from the word mni, which means water. It is also called the 'City of Lakes'. A vacation to Minneapolis can be a very good idea because this city will cater to the needs of every person – you can take you pick from among recreational activities, art, culture, shopping, music, theatre and lots more!
This article is a guide to getting great deals on hotels in Minneapolis.

Step 1

First, if you can accommodate this in your travel plan, try to not make prior bookings and turn up at the hotel directly. This might seem like a crazy idea, but it can help you find the best deals when it comes to hotels in Minneapolis. This is because there are some offers which are not displayed online, either on the websites of travel agencies or the websites of individual hotels. You can take advantage of such offers when you approach the hotel directly. This could mean a big burden off your pocket if you are looking to book rooms in hotels in Minneapolis.

Step 2

However, if you must make a prior booking for hotels in Minneapolis, make sure you fill in the form properly and check and recheck your information, details and preferences. If you happen to have coupons or reward points earned through a travelling programme, this is the time for you to use them and get a discount on hotels in Minneapolis. Though you are filling up a form online, it will not hurt to also talk to the hotel reception staff, as they will be able to clarify your doubts better and will address any concerns you might have. You can also enquire about discounts that are available and which might apply to you, such as discounts that hotels in Minneapolis give to students, frequent travellers etc.

Step 3

Minneapolis will certainly be an amazing city during the peak tourism season, but it will also be correspondingly expensive! To save money that you spend on hotels in Minneapolis, travel there at some other time. The reason is simple – when there are a lot of visitors, the hotels need not have any discounts in place, but when visitors are relatively scarce, they will try to attract them through various schemes that will offer lower prices. Though you must bear in mind that this might make you lose out on the best that Minneapolis has to offer to its visitors.

Step 4

Talk to family members and friends who have stayed at the same hotels in Minneapolis as you plan to. They will have advice that will come in handy, and will help you decide what the best hotels would be for you. If you know someone who travels frequently to Minneapolis, either for holidaying or work, and stays at hotels in Minneapolis, they may have some tips for you to get good deals and save some money.

Tips

Try to book air tickets and rooms in hotels in Minneapolis at the same time, through one agency or website. This will reduce the prices drastically and will take away a huge chunk of your bill.
