The Good: Are you ready? We are going to let you in on our insider secret: Stick to the source. Book your hotel directly on the hotels website at ChoiceHotels.com. You will nearly always get the lowest rate (even without a Choice Hotels “coupon”), while avoiding booking fees and cancellation penalties. You may also have greater peace of mind that your reservation won’t get “lost” in the system – this has been a complaint with various online travel sites. If we are NOT booking a vacation package (air+hotel), we book directly with the hotel. Because, we have found that online travel agency sites may offer the same price for the hotel (usually higher), but then they tack on service fees and burdensome cancellation policies to boot. Take a look at Choice Hotels cancellation policies, and you won’t need to worry about buying a “travel protection plan” again, as you can often cancel with no penalties whatsoever*.  Choice Hotels has a great rewards program. You can quickly rack up points for free nights, and gas cards.

The Bad: Nothing. Choice Hotels is one of our favorite sites for booking a hotel.
