Do you get more inexpensive hotel rates booking directly through the hotel than going online and check through websites too look for cheap hotels?
Most of the time, the cheapest deal are when you book the flight and hotel accommodation together. I believe there is no place to get the cheapest rates but I would suggest you to shop around and check all the online sites including the hotel and your airline.
Destinia.com is the number one stop if you are looking for great hotel guide. If you are planning to take a vacation in Madrid, in London or here in Manila, check out Madrid hotels, London hotels and Metro Manila hotels, respectively.
I prefer staying in a hotel because hotel has maid service, possibly will have a breakfast, and has on site restaurant for room service while staying in a condo has no maid and room service but has a kitchen, bedroom with TV and a separate living room with TV, and the majority of these condo communities have a pool. Even with no room service, you still can get food delivered in and it’s almost certainly better food.
It really depends on your taste. If you are with your children, I would go for condo to have a freedom. On the other hand, if you are just with your significant other, I would go for the hotel. It really depends on your dynamics.
