How can you get a lower hotel rate in person?

I don't like the online sites like Priceline because they don't tell you what hotel you are getting until you've already agreed to purchase it. Is there anything you can say to the hotel clerk to get a lower rate? I'm interested in Hilton.How can you get a lower hotel rate in person?
Show up after their reserved check in time. Any rooms available will probably go empty, these are the ones you can get a deal on. Do like shatner does on the commercial, tell the clerk you are there last minute, do they have any special room rates. Be sure to check their normal rates(rack rates) are so you know if you are getting a deal. If it's not low enough, hesitate. Be sure to bring along your AAA card, and when they get down to a rate you like, whip it out for a possible extra bit off. Also be sure to check the hotel you plan to visit to see if they have rooms available that day, if they are pretty booked (since you mentioned hilton) they may not let even a few empty rooms go cheaply.





You know the hiltons sold their hotel yeah?How can you get a lower hotel rate in person?
i'm a good friend of paris hilton's. we met in jail and i kept her butt from getting kicked by other inmates. she told me that when i get out, she'll repay the favor by giving me a free night in her daddy's hotels.





so apparently morgan from below tells me they sold the hotel. i knew you shouldn't trust that skank of a person named paris!
