There are many advantage to reserving multiple rooms at a hotel. Hotel room blocks not only save a great deal of time, but often a lot of money as well. It also saves a lot of headache! Getting a block is a great way to manage incoming guests for any major occasion or special event that needs to be planned in advance.

Blocking off rooms for a wedding is a great idea, especially in instances where a lot of family might be coming in from out of town or even abroad and are unfamiliar with the area. It allows the family members to have a safe and comfortable place to stay, whilst remaining in proximity of the festivities. Furthermore, it makes organizing transportation for groups to and from the hotel easier as well.

Having family staying in one place can be so beneficial in the long run. Aside from whatever event they may be in town for, family members staying at the same accommodation will get to spend more time catching up with one another. If they are in town for a wedding, then it's a great way to have a family reunion at the same time!

Another benefit of blocking off a number of rooms is the discounts often available as a result. Many hotels, and airlines, have great offers on packages when booked by groups. This could include things like meals or other amenities at the location, as well as hugely reduced prices for larger groups on great rooms.

This is a wonderful option for out-of-town conferences, especially where the company may be paying for its employees to attend. This is also a good idea for other group trips such as school or club trips abroad. People who attend festivals such as Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago can take full advantage of this type of deal on an annual basis. Sometimes, this can be booked up to a year in advance!

A room block is typically nine hotel rooms or more. There are different types of room block available dependent on the needs of the guests. Websites such as Skipper are really good at determining what type of reservation is best for a bride and groom's wedding guests, taking a lot of legwork out of this part of wedding planning.

Courtesy room blocks are best advised for wedding parties. This is because any rooms that aren't booked by a certain date won't incur an extra fee. However, a guaranteed block, which is a lot less flexible, usually requires a deposit of some sort in order to secure the block.

It is important to read or negotiate the booking agreement as thoroughly as possible before committing. Some hotels will release any unfilled rooms a certain period before the event, such as 30 days. Some will charge a penalty for unused rooms, while others can be very flexible in what they offer in terms of upfront payment or bookings by a certain time. If all rooms are booked by any given date, some hotels will allow more rooms to be added for further guests if necessary.
