Default does anyone know about any hotel discounts for families with children that are in traveling teams?

The first week of July my family needs to travel almost 1000 miles to Flordia for a national dance competition that my daughter is in. What is comes down to is that hotels that week are very expensive. It is a holiday week and the rate almost doubles. Does anyone know of any type of help that hotels may offer ? Thanks!

More than like the dance team will get a discount. Since there are so many rooms. If they are all staying in one hotel, or only a few hotels, rather than all spread out. The best thing to do is ask them.

Otherwise, hotels only offer regular discounts. Just ask them of any discounts or specials.

If the above suggestion to try and see if the competition got group rates does not work, try Hotels.com. I went in and entered 2 adults and 1 child (16 yrs old) for Orlando from July 2 through 8 and got many rooms starting around $55.00 / $60.00 per night.

As another option, try the below link and see if a rental home may be available for that week. Many times they will give you a great deal just to fill the place for a few days if they don't have bookings. The nice thing about renting a home is the privacy and you get a full kitchen so you can save by cooking at the house instead of eating all those meals out. Plus most will have their own private pool.
