FIRST person narrative - Abstract
While researching hotels for a recent trip to Italy, I found that several places offered discounts if you paid in cash. They were mostly smaller hotels, and they offered discounts of 6 to 10 percent, on average. The savings aren't enormous by any means -- but they can easily add up to the cost of a nice dinner. ''I find that anywhere in Europe small hotels, guest houses, and B&B's often prefer cash,'' said Rick Steves, the travel expert. ''Any tourist can ask if there's a cash discount, and often give their hotel an excuse to discount the rate.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
