Does anybody know about how much of a discount you can get on a hotel room when you have AAA?

i am getting married and we need to book some hotel/motel rooms. and my friend suggested that we get a AAA membership to get a lower room rate..... does any body have any idea on how much you normally save on a hotel room. i know it varies by place but i want to know so i don't get a membership and then it doesn't save me that much...

    Well the AAA discount is off the rack rate and may not be the lowest rate available. But generally it's 10-15%.

    The savings depends on the hotel or hotel chain.. Below is a statement about the deal with Hilton:

    At Hilton Hotels and Resorts, AAA Members will be offered the lowest rate available for dates of stay, guaranteed, when you show your membership card.

    Marriot has the same claim:

    At Marriott-affiliated hotels, your AAA Membership Card ensures you’ll receive the guaranteed lowest rate at more than 330,000 rooms across the United States, Canada and Europe.

    Baymont Inns & Suites state the following:

    At Baymont Inns & Suites, AAA Members receive 10 percent off regular room rates when you show your membership card. Some days are excluded and certain restrictions may apply.

    It can go from 5 dollars to 20 dollars. Discounts vary with the various hotel chains, and also the season, the occupancy, etc. Know that most of the time you can obtain a better rate than the one quoted by saying that the price is a little too high for your budget. If they have room, they often give you a better rate than have an empty room. Obviously your chance at getting a good rate is much better in late afternoon for a same night booking, than if you do that a week before.

    You can go online to a variety of hotels and see what the AAA discount is before you ever buy. I found I save between $5 - 15 dollars a night as an average.

    i believe it depends which hotel... if you go into a AAA branch you can get a free book w/ every hotel affiliated and detailed info on each one. maybe on the website to.. aaa.com

    regrettably, you are going to might desire to compromise one in all your standards: the two "good", "close to Disneyland", or "$one hundred". common fee for that component to 365 days is above $one hundred. As already stated the candy Cane lodge is nice. i could surprisingly recomment the HoJo (Howard Johnson). I merely responded a question approximately affordable inns around the park, so verify that answer besides. have exciting!

    I've gotten about 10% off, but you might ask them about a group rate. You might get a better deal.
