1. Book outside of peak periods
It’s an obvious one, but book a stay in Loughborough outside of peak seasons is a great way to secure big savings. Avoid making a reservation around the time of any big events and exhibitions or else risk forking out for a peak season premium. This university town also tends to command larger hotel asking prices during term time. A little flexibility with scheduling can yield some fantastic savings you can put toward enjoying yourself during your stay.
2. Pay for rooms ahead of time and take out insurance
Many hotels and b&b establishments will reward guests who pay for their stay outright ahead of time. You can save as much as 50% on room deals when you shell out for their total asking price of your stay at the time of reservation.
There’s one hitch to pre-paying for your hotel or bed and breakfast however – you won’t be entitled to the same cancellation freedoms as regular reservations. If you’re planning a stay for more than a couple of days, taking out some travel insurance can cover you in the case of an emergency outside of your control. This way, even if you need to cancel, you’ll be entitled to a refund from your insurance company.
3. Ditch the extras for the best savings
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re enjoying a break away from home. One of the biggest extra expenses when staying in hotels is the mini bar. Even when you’re itching for that final night cap, avoid the ridiculous asking prices of the mini bar and opt for a drink downstairs in the lounge instead.
Failing that, bring your own and keep them chilled in the fridge so you can enjoy a glass of bubbles at the end of a long day exploring without the dizzying price tag of the mini bar tariff. What’s more, you’ll also want to check into those hidden extra fees, whether it’s a pass to the wireless network or access to an on-site swimming pool.
4. Be flexible on location
Loughborough isn’t the largest town around, but it’s big enough that location can have a big effect on how much you’re paying for your accommodation. If you’re not tied to the idea of hotels in the heart of town, cast the net a little wider and you’ll be amazed at how cheap rooms can be just a short distance from the centre of this famous university town.
If you’re making your own way with your own transport, you’ve even more reason to be flexible when it comes to where you’re staying.
5. Ask for an upgrade
It can be hard to wrap your head around getting something for nothing, but if you don’t ask, you don’t get. If you’re heading to Loughborough to celebrate a special occasion, let your hotel team know at the front desk when checking in.
Many hotels like to go out of their way to do a good thing for their guests, especially when there’s something worth celebrating. No matter whether it’s your anniversary, birthday or other special occasion, try your luck and see if you can switch rooms to something more elaborate, pocket some savings at the bar, or nab dinner deals.
