HOTEL RESERVATIONS
It's very simple to make hotel reservations as an
Associated Travel Agent. You may elect to reserve lodging through calling
Travel Services or make your own reservation utilizing our online web
reservation system. You can also contact the hotel directly. When contacting
the hotel directly, you will want to ask for the best available regular rates,
in addition to any special rates that might be available. Some of these special
rates apply to: Automobile Club members (AAA), advance notice prepaid, weekend
rates, breakfast for two, and AARP. In order to reserve space, you will need to
have the following information ready.
You may wish to say. "This is (your name) I am an agent with Global Travel Trends, Inc.. I'd like to book reservations for (number of nights) beginning (date of first night) for (number of nights) and ending on (date of check out) at (name of property)."
(When booking a reservation for yourself, advise the hotel to send the confirmation to your address; otherwise the confirmation will be sent to Global Travel Trends, who may not be able to determine where the confirmation should be sent.)
Remember: Taxes are not included in the quoted rates. In most major cities, many hotels also charge a parking fee of $8 to $12 (USD) per night or more. In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, when you are booking lodgings in a major city (for example, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York), it is wise to inquire about these additional costs. You can also access the hotel description through our Sabre Web Reservations, which contains the above information.
