FAQs
Which hotel chains offer discounts for seniors and AARP members in Alabama?
Many different hotel brands offer discounts for seniors and AARP members, including Marriott, InterContinental Hotels Group, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Extended Stay America, Best Western, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, Wyndham Hotels, and all Choice Hotel brands.
How old do I have to be to get a discount?
Depending on the hotel, you can normally get a discount if you're at least 60 years old, but with some hotel chains you have to be at least 62 years old.
With hotels that offer discounts for AARP members, you only need to be 50 years old - this is the minimum age at which you can get a full AARP membership.
How much of a discount can I get?
As a senior citizen or AARP member, you can typically get a discount of 5-15% off the nightly rate of your hotel room, and sometimes even up to 30% off. The exact discount you'll get depends on the hotel you stay at.
How do I access the discount I'm entitled to?
When browsing a hotel's website, there should be a dropdown menu that will display the special senior citizen or AARP member rate for that hotel.
To access the lower room price you're entitled to, simply book your room as normal, then mention the discount at check-in. You'll need to provide your ID or AARP membership card to prove your eligibility.
To get the discount, you need to ensure you book on the hotel's website, such as on marriott.com or ihg.com. You can't use another booking website, like booking.com, or you won't receive the senior citizen discount.
