How to Save Money on Hotels

In addition to hotels, I also recommend staying at a VRBO when visiting Vancouver BC to save BIG on your trip.  VRBO has so many vacation rentals listed by owner, and they can be such a great way to find nice lodging that is way less expensive than the hotels.  I’ve personally stayed at multiple VRBO’s, and loved every one.  Not only were they often significantly cheaper than the nearby hotels, they also came fully stocked with convenient amenities that saved us SO much money!

I personally recommend visiting Vancouver in the late Spring or the early Fall.  The weather is still nice and the rates will also be more reasonable.

Now do you want to know my favorite tips and tricks for saving BIG on a VRBO?  These little known hacks will save you SO much money!  Check this out…
