How to compare quotes for hotel stay

Cheapest is not the same as best value for hotel stay. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

What moves the price of hotel stay

Timing your hotel stay

For hotel stay, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.
