5 Benefits of Booking Directly with Hotel Just a quick tip - booking directly with a hotel rather than through an online travel agency (OTA) is always the better option. The benefits that come with booking through the hotel website far outweigh any "savings" you think you may be getting when booking with any online travel agency.
