Last year, I checked into a hotel expecting a tiny room—but I walked into one twice the size for the same price. How? I asked for one simple thing.”
I love traveling, but I hate overpaying. Once, I booked a “deluxe” hotel room online, only to arrive and find a cramped space with barely enough room for my suitcase. Sound familiar?
Most travelers don’t realize that you don’t have to settle (or pay extra) for more space.
The Trick: Always Ask for a Corner Room
After talking to hotel staff and testing this myself, I learned: corner rooms are often bigger. Here’s why:
⭐ Hotel layouts often make corner rooms slightly larger (even if they’re the same price).
⭐ They’re not classified as suites, so hotels don’t charge extra.
⭐ More windows = better views and natural light.
“But do hotels really say yes?”
How to Ask (Without Sounding Demanding)
I’ve used this line at check-in for years:
“Hi! If available, could I possibly have a corner room? I’d really appreciate it.”
Why it works:
⭐ It’s polite (not entitled).
⭐ It’s easy for staff to say yes (if rooms are open).
⭐ No upgrade fees—just smart booking!
When This Works Best
⭐ Check in early (more room availability).
⭐ Avoid peak season (hotels are fuller).
⭐ Be nice to staff (a smile goes a long way).
My Personal Success Story
In Miami, I asked for a corner room—and got one with a balcony and ocean view for no extra cost.
In Vegas, my “basic” room had extra seating space just because it was on the corner.
