Question.
If for business reason you have a good possibility (50-60%) to spend a period (2-3 weeks) in a new location far from home and you can choose between two or three hotels, how in advance do you book a room ? And do you book ONLY a room at a single hotel or at multiple places (i.e. booking a room at more than one property (yes, overlapping)) so to decide only later on where to stay ? Do you feel guilty 'burning ' with a low but refundable rate the availability of a low rate so that someone could end paying more in a place even if it's the one you will later on discharge ?

The involved period is 'relevant' (not just one night, 'who cares' style) and you want to be sure to have a good stay and why not, also take advantage of any promotion (present or future).

How do you behave ? And how do you feel about it ?

Thanks


I chosed the Hilton forum because it's my actual preferred hotel chain and no big surprise for anyone, I have a few reservation with them.
