Looking for a good business hotel deal
By bookish in Business | 6 comments
Some day, I’ll be working for a company that actually allows its traveling employees some amount of latitude in their travel expenses. And maybe a little bit of time to plan out their journey’s would be great also. Oh, the dreams!
So, my boss comes in this morning telling me that I need to be in Atlanta the day after tomorrow and Alabama the day after that. What?! So, now I get to spend all of my time searching not only for Atlanta, Ga hotels, but trying to find the best hotel deal I can while I’m at it.
Given that we have a nice Internet connection at the office, searching online is actually pretty easy. Of course, I am always second guessing myself when I start this process, but I usually let it go when I see 2 or 3 prices that are all close to each other and fit the parameters of my travel needs.
Every once in a while, I’m blessed with finding the very best price and options the first time out, like I did when I was able to book at the Clarion Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. It only took a couple of more searches for similar accomodations to know that I had found the best deal for me.

Ah, the wonders of the Internet. It makes everything so easier, including looking for the best hotel deals. Have fun in both cities! Or at least try to have fun, too.
Great post, btw!

Thanks for the info!
How was the Clarion Hotel? I’m also thinking of getting a room there since it’s so near the airport. Can you tell me more?

The hardest part sometimes is when choosing among narrowed down choices.
Good luck!

Are there other Birmingham hotels you recommend? Please post the Atlanta hotels you found for future reference. Is that alright?
Thanks!

It always helps to have a good internet access when booking hotels online.
I’m glad you were to get good deals!
