Post Ecuador Hotels

In the South America, I've heard of people negotiating room charges with the hotel if they stay for about a week or so, which would guarantee the hotel a customer. Is that true?

Default Re: Ecuador Hotels

this is funny ..

Everything in South America is up for negotiating. Especially if you are a foreign traveler. If you are talking about hostels and incespensive 3 stars hotels it is by all means the case. But for upper hol levels, 4 and 5star bargaining will not work.

Another info for buying handcrafts, always offer half what they ask for.

Hope it helps..

Well never say never. I've stayed at Hotel Libertador in Cusco Peru and I received about 15% off rack rate for four days. That was Peru and this Ecuador so it may be different. It never hurts to ask!
