How Hotel Room Blocks Can Be Beneficial

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!

You can get some great discounts by opting to block off several rooms. Hotels, much like airlines, have some great deals for group bookings. You could get all sorts of things included in a package such as meals, or other hotel perks. You could also land some really great rooms for excellent reduced prices.

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 tend to be about 9 rooms and up. It is important to know what type of room block you need based on the needs of those who will be staying there. A website like Skipper is very good at eliminating a lot of the guesswork and making the process easier for couples planning their wedding and the arrival of their guests.

For weddings, a courtesy room block is your best bet. You won't have to pay any additional fees in the event that some of the rooms you reserved don't get filled in time. On the other hand, you'd probably have to make some type of major deposit for a guaranteed block, which secures all the rooms you need.

A booking agreement is an important part of this entire process and must be read carefully after negotiating. There will often be a cut off date for guests to make their bookings, after which rooms might be unavailable. Hotels can also add rooms if the entire block is booked and there are most guests who need to be accommodated. Some agreements may have a penalty for unused rooms and other might be very flexible on their terms.
