How to upgrade your hotel room for free

In most cases, it is very difficult to get a free hotel room upgrade. But that doesn't mean it's impossible. As long as you speak kindly, you will gain something. Have you ever encountered such an experience when you are on a business trip or traveling: your flight is repeatedly delayed, and it is already past midnight when you arrive at the hotel you booked online, and early in the morning, you still have to rush to the next leg of your journey. At this time, if your room is upgraded to a suite for free, your frustrated mood may be relieved. It’s not impossible. If you are not traveling during the peak tourist season and you are lucky enough, pie from the sky will fall on your head. If you also know some skills, this chance will be even greater. While we have to admit that getting a free upgrade to the best room is a matter of luck, the front desk staff actually has a lot more power than most customers realize. A front desk manager at an international brand hotel once said that there are several ways to put guests in a better position for free hotel room upgrades. First of all, you only stayed one night and came late. Sometimes there are important meetings taking place in the city, and you are more likely to get a free hotel room upgrade. This is because short stays and late arrivals can save hotel staff from the trouble of room adjustments; during major events, smaller rooms may be occupied, and hotel staff have to make arrangements to prevent guests from going to other hotels. Suites are available as an alternative. Generally speaking, hotels want to make their customers happy. When a room is available, if a friendly and exhausted guest shows up, the front desk staff will often "sympathetically" give him a room with a better view or a bigger bed. Even if you're in high spirits, just having a quick chat with the front desk staff about your planned vacation activities can go a long way. Sometimes, your "accidental" revelation that it's your wedding anniversary will be taken seriously and result in the opportunity for a free room upgrade. It’s also important to stay on top of your hotel management staff for one reason – it makes it easier for them to remember you, and hotels like repeat customers. If your job requires you to travel to a certain city frequently, you might as well stay in the same hotel, and preferably the same room, every time. Every time you come, don't forget to call the hotel manager you know. This way, when you arrive there tiredly at midnight, once you ask for a free room upgrade, he will definitely agree. (Mia)
