"If you get harried when you have to haggle, use a free service offered by Capitol Reservations. They'll find you a hotel in the price bracket you desire that meets your specific requirements, and they'll do the bargaining for you. `Because of the high volume of room nights we book,' explains the director, `many properties offer discounts available only through this service.' Capitol Reservations listings begin at about $55 a night for a double. They've all been screened for cleanliness and other desirability factors, and they're all in safe neighborhoods."
