Avoid staying in a hotel: what does the tail room of a hotel mean?

The back room of a hotel is the room at the end of the hotel corridor, or the room that has not been sold after a certain point (such as 20:00 pm).

When assigning rooms to guests, hotels usually start with rooms near the elevator lobby, because it is faster to provide room service and more convenient to clean the room after check-out. Because of this distribution method, the occupancy rate of rooms at the end of the corridor will be low, and they often cannot be sold after a certain point in the day, so they are called "weifang".

In order to improve the occupancy rate, hotel managers usually offer preferential sales to the tail room of the hotel, so its price will be lower than other rooms.

Extended data

In dealing with Weifang, each brand company has different methods, mainly in the following two ways:

1. Book in advance and reduce the tail room.

The hotel adopts the policy of booking in advance and paying discounts, and booking at full price on the same day. The deviation of booking in advance will give a preferential price to the guests who have confirmed their itinerary, so that they can book rooms in advance and reduce the tail room.

2. Check in at night 10- 12, check out at morning 12, and sell at a discount.

Generally, it is sold at a discount of 5-7 after 12, which is often rare for hotels. At present, not only small brand express hotels, but also many single hotels have adopted this way to deal with Weifang.
