There's nobody better than a professional traveler to know how to get great hotel rates, free upgrades, and tweak their rooms to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
If you have some flexibility, wait until the last minute and use sites like Travelusive to nab a deal. Bid your own price and get matched with hotels. In this way, you save a ton of money with deals that are tailored to you.
Many hotels use key card systems that are rigged so the power is only on in your room when you stick your room key/card into the slot by the door. This means when you're out, there's no air conditioning and no power to charge your electronics. Override this by sticking an old credit card or membership card (in some cases a simple business card will work) into the slot.
Although you can always mention a special occasion at check-in and hope for a free upgrade if it's available.
Always carry a Google Chromecast with you.
