Advantages Of Hotel Room Blocks

By Stephen Allen


There are a number of reasons why reserving several rooms or more at a hotel would be advantageous. Hotel room blocks can save a lot of time, hassle and also money. It is an excellent idea to consider for an upcoming major event that requires a lot of advance planning.

Wedding room blocks are super helpful, especially when you know there will be relatives coming in from other regions and even from abroad. They won't be familiar with the area and it will be very reassuring to know they have somewhere that is comfortable and secure to stay, that keeps them close together and close to the event as well. It also makes it easier for you to arrange transportation to and from one location.

Having guests accommodated at the same place has many benefits. Though relatives may be in town for a wedding, it's a great opportunity to have a mini reunion at the same time. This is especially the case if they all happen to be staying in the same place!

There are huge discounts one can get when blocking off many rooms at once. Just like airlines, hotels have group rates and packages that make it more affordable for everyone instead of individually trying to find somewhere to stay. Packages could include meals or amenities on site, in addition to reduced rates for larger groups.

This is a wonderful option for out-of-town conferences, especially where the company may be paying for its employees to attend. This is also a good idea for other group trips such as school or club trips abroad. People who attend festivals such as Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago can take full advantage of this type of deal on an annual basis. Sometimes, this can be booked up to a year in advance!

Most room blocks require you to book about 9 rooms plus. There are different kinds of room block depending on your guests' needs. You can use a site like Skipper to plan easily and efficiently for your wedding guests. Sites like this help save a lot of time and headache!

Courtesy room blocks are best advised for wedding parties. This is because any rooms that aren't booked by a certain date won't incur an extra fee. However, a guaranteed block, which is a lot less flexible, usually requires a deposit of some sort in order to secure the block.

You should always be sure of your booking agreement before signing anything. Know if the hotel is going to release unfilled rooms by a certain date, like thirty days before the guests arrive. Also know if you will have to pay a penalty for any unused rooms, or if your plan is more flexible. Be sure to find out the possibility of the hotel having more rooms available if you need them, should the room block be entirely filled in advance. Most hotels will be more than happy to accommodate any of your remaining guests in this event.
