Most hotels (like most colleges, car dealers, etc.) negotiate.
When you get a price, mention that you’ve been recommended by a repeat customer (or are a repeat), and ask if you can get a discount.
Once, I arrived at my hotel, HOTEL MISSION PALENQUE, in Palenque Mexico. I waited behind a couple who had just driven in from Merida. The man asked for, and got, a 10% discount off the bat.
So, I went up and said, ‘you gave him a discount, and I’m a repeat customer…?’. I got the discount, too, and realized that I always need to ask for a discount.
Nothing to lose.
