Do you need a Langley Realtor?

The question might often arise if you actually need a Langley Realtor; especially for buyers who think they can find listing on their own with MLS search or one of many real estate websites in Metro Vancouver such as REW.ca or Point2Homes.com

That’s a great question. In most cases, having a real estate professional like a realtor on your side is a valuable extra set of eyes and invaluable expertise. The key however is finding the RIGHT realtor for buying or selling your home in Langley, BC. Hiring the wrong real estate agent in Langley can be a nightmare in itself and exceptionally costly or regretful (such as if you end up in a less desirable home because the real estate agent pushed it on you for a bigger commission).

The key is always about who you hire and who you work with; the key (pun intended) is finding the RIGHT Langley realtor to work with – a good Langley real estate agent who puts integrity and people before profits. (Realtors operate as independent corporation with a real estate managing broker so their success directly depends on their own performance/sales – hence there’s a direct correlation or incentive to unscrupulous behavior if it profits them… as is the same in any industry I suppose but a more direct the linkage, the more the incentive. Think something like a used car salesman, an electronic sales person on commission, or the fact that nobody cares about a business’ bottom line more than the business owner – and perhaps the accountant. So finding a real estate agent that has good character and morals is important in your quest to finding a Langley Real Estate Agent.)

Bellow, you’ve listed some reasons why hiring a Langley Realtor can be beneficial if you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Langley, BC.

Tips for Booking a Langley Hotel:

Booking a Langley Hotel provides many different avenues of doing so; the two main considerations are (1) Should you book direct or through an Online Travel Agency? (2) When should you book the Langley Hotel?

We hope to answer these two questions for you as briefly as possible to help you get the BEST deal when booking a hotel in Langley, BC. With this said, please note that these are our opinion based on anecdotal experience along with vast travel experience… and while we try to be as accurate as possible, facts may change; please take what you read with a grain of salt. With no further ado, here are some tips for booking a Langley Hotel:

(1) Should you book your Langley Hotel direct or through an Online Travel Agency <OTA>?

There are perks to booking direct vs. booking through an online travel agency such as Expedia.ca, Trip.com, or Hotels.com – let’s break down the pros & cons so you can make an informed decision on what’s best for you!

Pros with booking through an Online Travel Agency:

  • OTA’s Reward/Loyalty Program &  versatility: While most hotel loyalty programs require you to stay at their family of hotel franchises, OTA’s reward/loyalty program generally allow you to be rewarded for ALL your stays booked through them regardless of the hotel brand you’re staying at. This may make it easier for you to accumulate benefits and rewards especially if the franchise/hotel doesn’t have many locations around your area of travel.
  • Ease of Booking, Security, Familiarity, Consistency: Booking a Langley hotel through an online travel agency like Trip.com ensures up-front, consistent, and easy to view booking and managing/checking your reservation. Booking through hotels directly may have different processes, may require you to create another account or enter your information (and you don’t know exactly how secure their systems are). Whereas, Online Travel Agencies like Trip.com invest heavily into the user interface experience as well as security and ease of booking. (Because they benefit from the economies of scale with managing millions of reservations annually and have the budget to do so than say a mom & pop hotel in Langley.) Further, your reservation is often confirmed and emailed to you immediately on booking; you can also manage or check on your reservation online making it easier and having a peace of mind. It’s exceptionally easy to manage your hotel booking online and cancel if necessary; if you require to contact customer support you can also give them a call or email. Of course, customer service will vary base on which OTA you use – but in general, you can very easily do most of your booking management (cancellation – reviewing your booking details) online. No need to call to confirm and if you qualify for the cancellation policy with refund, most OTAs will allow you to cancel online with a refund – not needing to call in to customer support.
  • Cheaper Prices Occasionally: Most Online Travel Agencies such as Expedia.ca will require hotels to give them the best price available. Online Travel Agencies can often also have cheaper price than the hotel direct prices (actually very often) itself. There are several reason for this. Occasionally, OTAs will bulk-buy hotel rooms and resell them hence the prices may be cheaper than the hotel’s actual price if they’re looking to clear inventory for last minute bookings. Other times, OTAs like Trip.com are trying to gain customers and customer loyalty – so they may absorb the costs to offer a cheaper room rate especially for new customers.Actually, you can get 8% of your hotel room as a new customer of Trip.com; no other OTAs I am aware of are offering such new customer promotions. Further, I have noticed Trip.com providing memeber-rates cheaper than that of Expedia.ca or the hotels directly; I am thinking they are personally discounting the rate as it is a relatively newer OTA and so to build reputation and customer base, they may be offering cheaper rates than Expedia.ca and Booking.com to win over customers into thinking Trip.com has the cheapest rates?You can also get special last minute deals on online travel agencies that you won’t find with the hotels directly. (because customers are more price sensitive on Online Travel Agency being able to compare prices for all hotels in Langley, BC – than booking directly with the hotel’s website… and both hoteliers and OTAs know it. You presume if someone is going to the hotel’s website to book that they have a higher willingness to pay because of brand loyalty or wanting that specific hotel, than an online OTA where you can choose any of 30+ hotels in Langley. You may often find last minute deals on OTAs as part of the hotel’s pricing strategy on OTAs. Hotels do get a lot of bookings through OTAs like Expedia.ca, Trip.com, and Priceline.)
  • Earn Points on Flights and Vacation Packages: A hotel loyalty program will only allow you to earn points on your hotel stays but booking through an online travel agency allows you to earn points and rewards for your flights as well; and unlike hotel loyalty programs, flights frequent flyer programs allow you to earn points both on your OTA and on their program. So this allows you the ability to maximize your rewards if you plan on flying to Langley, BC (Approximately a 45 minutes drive from Vancouver International Airport).

Pros with booking a Langley Hotel Directly:

  • Hotel Loyalty Program: Many hotels in Langley, both small and large, will offer a loyalty program for their guests. This loyalty program can vary in perks and free nights. The key problem however is whether you will accumulate sufficient stays in a Langley Hotel make the loyalty program worth your while. For example, Sandman Hotels will offer you the 13th night free for every 12 nights. It may be easier to accumulate free nights with larger hotel brands such as Marriott Bonvoy, Best Western Rewards, IHG Rewards Club, Choice Privileges. The other problem with using a hotel’s loyalty program is you’re now incentived to stay with the specific brand of hotels wherever you visit – which for some hotel franchises such as Marriott Bonvoy or Sandman Hotels, it may always work out with a consistent & good hotel… with other franchises such as Best Western and Choice – your hotel experience will vary; this means you’re not always going to end up staying at the BEST hotel (value or quality) in each respective city. This is another reason to use OTA’s reward programs than hotel loyalty program. Many loyalty program will only allow you to accumulate nights on their program with a direct booking. (Certain hotels will individually let you accumulate nights even with a third party booking – but this is not policy in most cases, but an exception/generosity.)
  • Price Match: Many hotels in Langley will match whatever price you find online. You can get a better deal doing so. Further, on some occasion hotels will offer rates cheaper than what you may be able to find online. Sandman is one of those hotels that frequently offer rates with special coupon codes offering 35% off or other special coupon codes.
  • Reservation Convenience: One drawback of booking through an OTA is should you require to cancel or change your reservation, rarely do you call the hotel directly – instead you will have to cancel your reservation through the OTA. This can be a plus because by experience many online travel agencies will have more flexible cancellation policies than hotels; it truly varies. (By this, there is a written cancellation policy such as 24 hrs before arrival or no cancellation… however, if you have a change of plans and you’re a loyal customer to an OTA – I find they are more than likely going to give you a free cancellation or at least an equivalent in credit… should you have a reasonable explanation for cancelling/changing your reservation. The same often goes for hotels – they’re lenient with their cancellation/changes for frequent guests; however, you likely don’t stay at the specific Langley hotel sufficiently to show such loyalty… but you might through an OTA with a broad base use.) So, if you book directly to the Langley hotel, it would be quicker and easier to manage your reservation should you require any changes or cancellations as the Front Desk of the Langley Hotel is more likely easily accessible (without a wait time) than the call centre of a high volume OTA.

Should you book a Langley Hotel through an OTA, or directly?

To sum it up, it depends. It depends. It depends on your priorities and your frequency as well as the type of hotels in your city of choice – in this case Langley Hotel.

Generally, I would recommend booking through an OTA if you’re not a frequent traveler; and I would presume you’re not if you’re searching about the Best Hotels in Langley.

There are sufficient hotels in Langley that you have a variety of loyalty programs to patronize and prices will likely be reasonable still (generally if you participate in a loyalty program, you may end up paying more for your hotel than you would booking through an OTA because loyalty program knows they have less competition among other hotels in the vicinity; you’re overall willing to fork out more than finding the best deal or the best hotel in a city… one way or another, you’ll likely end up paying more than you would for hotels overall with a hotel loyalty program than if you were to sign up and book your hotels through an OTA like Trip.com providing variety and price comparisons.)

Conclusion – generally it’s best to book through an OTA like Trip.com offering special price discounts and competitiveness than booking directly to benefit from a hotel’s loyalty program but be trapped in the brand’s eco-system… however, loyalty does have its perks. You can still build a good relationship with the hotel in Langley you frequent often (if you found a Langley hotel you like and visit Langley, BC often) while booking through an OTA and get a frequent free upgrades without participating in a hotel’s loyalty program.

 

(2) When should you book your Langley Hotel room?

We will be answering this question individually on each of our  5 BEST Hotels in Langley. This is because each hotel may have different pricing strategies; some hotels will offer last minute deals while others will not. Some hotels (like Accent Inn) will try to set a simple fixed nightly rate, while others (especially big franchises) will try to price discriminate to increase their average nightly rate through a variety of pricing strategies.

On a general basis, if you know your itinerary, and the location you want to stay in Langley, BC  or the hotel in Langley you want to book at, it’s better to book as soon as possible as prices will generally increase as room availability decreases (the hotel may even sell out of rooms!)  – this generally applies to bigger cities & peak periods than non-peak periods but it can be thought as a general rule. Book as early as you can.

If you can stomach some risk and certain hotels have last-minute pricing deals (more commonly found on Online Travel Agencies that bulk-buy rooms) then you could wait to book your Langley, BC Hotel. With this said, to my knowledge – there are no hotels in Langley that follow this model. (Langley seems like a city with fairly consistent but moderate demand for rooms – it doesn’t make much sense to apply last minute prices.)

What you need to know about Sandman Signature Langley Hotel?

1) Several room types available at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel including Lofts, or Washers/Dryers:

The Sandman Signature Langley Hotel is unique; it is one of the few hotels in Metro Vancouver – much more Langley – to offer a “Signature Executive King Suite with Sofa Bed” which guests appreciate for having a washer/dryer along with a complete kitchen in a 435 SQFT room. This is one of six room types they have available at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel. This includes the standard “Signature King” or “Signature Two Queens” which are much what you’d expect of a standard 3* hotel room at 300 SQFT including a small washroom, seating area, bed(s), and a coffee maker w/ flat screen TV.  Popular with Sandman Hotels are also the “Signature Loft King Suite” featuring an open concept kichennette w/ dining/lounge area on the lower floor along with a mid-size washroom; the King Size bed and additional TV is located upstairs for a total 447 SQFT. The ceiling for the Signature Loft King Suite at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel is expectedly high! …making it feel exceptionally spacious, since it is a loft after all. The “Signature Corporate King Suite” is spacious at 459 SQFT with a Kithenette (instead of a full kitchen) for a more open feel. The Sandman Signature Langley Hotel also offers a “Signature Jacuzzi King Room” which awkwardly places a full jaccuzi tub in the bedroom, along with a separate washroom; it also features a kitchen and a total SQFT of 366. The Signature Jacuzzi King Room is ideal for romantic couples looking to appreciate their own jacuzzi tub, or solo travelers looking to relax with a jacuzzi while staying in a Langley hotel.

2) Sandman ‘Lucky13’ and Free Upgrades:

One distinct benefit of Sandman Hotels ‘Lucky13’ stamp card which provides guests with their 13th stay free for every 12 paying nights. (Irregardless of the Sandman hotel location OR room type – so you can also accumulate nights at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel and use the free night at any other Sandman Hotel – mainly in BC.) On the 13th (free) stay, you will also receive a customer appreciation goodie bag that varies base on the Sandman hotel you’re staying at; for example, Sandman Signature Vancouver Airport Hotel gives you an eye mask, water, granola, and a few flight orientated trinkets while Sandman Victoria Hotel gives you a relatively cheap earphones along with the usual water, granola, and treats/snacks.

There appears to be no variance between weekend or weekday rates as some hotels might impose (Many hotels especially in Asia offer cheaper rates during the weekends because they cater largely to corporate travelers who occupy the hotel during the weekdays and families looking for a Staycation during the weekends… these rates vary as much as 30%.)

The rates at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel do not fluctuate base on the days of booking it appears, but the availability of room types which Sandman Signature Langley Hotel has 6 different room types (Signature King & Signature Two Queens in the same price bucket, Signature Corporate King Suite, Signature Executive King Suite with Sofa Bed, Signature Loft King Suite, and Signature Jacuzzi King Room). The nice thing about Sandman hotels is their front desk clerks are often generous with room upgrades for frequent travelers.

Last Minute Rates at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel:

Of course, depending on their availability, prices will increase even for the standard room rates at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel if occupancy rate is high – therefore, it might be advisable to book earlier than later while plenty of rooms remain to get the BEST rate at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel – before their room availability dwindles and prices increase. Sandman Signature Langley Hotel DOES NOT appear to offer any last minute booking deals (regardless of availability) therefore, there is no benefit leaving your booking to the last minute at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel. (as some other hotels may offer discounts booking 7 days before travel if they have many rooms available… this does not apply at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel base on our analysis.)

The BEST time to Book at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel: (And getting a good deal at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel)

The best time (in our opinion) for booking at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel is as soon as possible using Trip.com (for additional rewards and member special discounts). The cheapest rates are non-refundable therefore, book only when you’re certain of your plans. Refundable rates are available – ideally if you’re unsure of your plans and would like a refundable rate, book directly through the Sandman Signature Langley hotel for less hassle. (Else you would have to cancel through your OTA than the hotel – depending on the OTA, it might be a simple click or you might have to call the call centre… and it is more likely the front desk/hotel reservations to be more easily contactable than an OTA call centre – though Trip.com is pretty quick, still direct is advisable.)

 

Best Ways to Book at Sandman Signature Langley Hotel:

Sandman Hotels is a BC-born hotel chain featuring several locations throughout British Columbia, Canada, USA (Texas), and UK (London Airport Hotel). Their loyalty program is a stamp card ‘lucky 13’ which gives you the 13th night free for every 12 nights.

This said, there are no additional perks to their loyalty program and staying 12 nights might be difficult unless you travel frequently in British Columbia. Their hotels are consistent and comfortable; what you would expect for a 3* hotel – catering largely to corporate or family travel – emphasizing value and consistency. Sadly, their loyalty program is lacking and while your stays are logged in their system – it doesn’t matter whether you book directly or online.

For this reason, we would recommend booking Sandman Signature Langley Hotel through an online travel agency like Trip.com.

You will get a great rate with Trip.com (additional 8% discount for new customers using coupon code ‘ ‘) because of insider/member rate along with Trip Coins and Trip.com Status nights which will allow you to earn more Trip Coins. As an up and coming online travel agency, we especially recommend Trip.com because of their customer service and competitive nature striving to offer the best rates to their customers (as you might expect, with a new business – they want to compete decisively with the established OTAs – so we find that Trip.com seems to subsidize some hotel rates for members… getting you cheaper nightly rates booking on Trip.com than you would elsewhere.) Their customer service is also reliable. The business Trip.com is a subsidiary of a listed company CTrip with a reliable track record and hundreds of employees – so you can be sure your booking is secured as can be.

Alternatively, we’d recommend booking through Expedia.ca for similar reasons to Trip.com (loyalty program that applies to ANY hotel, and gaining status nights for more benefits at the online travel agency) OR Hotels.com which will provide you 1 free night for every 10 nights (instead of 13 nights at Sandman’s ‘lucky 13’) which is applicable on any hotel.

Overall for value and loyalty program, we’d recommend Trip.com however.

Langley Hotels Guide:

We wanted to provide a comprehensive guide to Langley Hotels; so after scouring every possible hotel in Langley and recommending our choices for the 5 BEST Hotels in Langley, BC – it seemed beneficial to highlight other options for accommodation in Langley, BC as well – along with a brief point of what you ought to know about teach Langley hotel.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Langley:

Cheap hotel in Langley with free continental breakfast, great location, and reasonable standard Holiday Inn rooms.

Category – Cheap & Good Hotel in Langley

Sample Price (Spring) – $122 CAD/night

Best Western Plus Country Meadows Inn:

An excellent hotel in Langley, BC but not quite sufficient to make it into our top 5 BEST hotels in Langley.

Category – Cheap & Good Hotel in Langley

Pros – Free Breakfast

Sample Price (Spring) – $82 CAD/night

Best Western Plus Country Meadows Inn offers excellent value as a hotel in Langley, BC however it is located farther South in Aldergrove than towards Langley City. The location may not make it convenient for those looking for a hotel in Langley, BC proper. Neither is it a destination luxury hotel that you might intentionally pick for a unique experience like Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, BC (one of our pick for the BEST hotels in Vernon, BC though far from the city centre). It is a good hotel in Langley for those driving from the States and looking for a rest stop before heading to Vancouver-proper or on wards… and vise-versa for those driving from Interior BC to the US to take a rest stop before crossing the border. What’s especially useful is the free breakfast which includes hot and cold items, and for a price of $82/night – you can’t complain! Further rooms are clean,  consistent, and service is good as what you’d expect at a good, average hotel. The nice thing about staying at a hotel like this in Langley is you can expect consistency knowing your visit will be hassle-free & pleasant as usual. Not fantastic or great, but pleasant consistently.

Travelodge by Wyndham Langley:

 

Canada’s Best Value Inn Langley:

We advice not booking at this Langley Hotel unless you have to. The rooms are a luck of draw, the cleanliness is also varied, while the neighbours/guests (long-term stays) can be questioanble characters. There is also the smell of smoke in many places on the property (due to the questionable characters probably) and the noise of trains being meters from the train track. It’s cheap but it’s not worth your stay.

Category – Cheap Hotel in Langley BC

Pros – Free Continental Breakfast, Cheap Langley Hotel

Sample Price (Spring) – $59 CAD/ Night

Well, how do we put this… it’s not the place you want to stay in Langley, BC. Canadas Best Value Inn Langley is hard to describe. You can tell they’re trying to improve their Langley hotel – somewhat but it’s quite a dump overall and your experience will be hit or miss. Some rooms are Ok, OK, not great – some rooms will leave you gagging. It appears base on reviews that they’re working on renovating their Langley hotel. It’s a cheap hotel in Langley, BC but NOT Canada’s Best Value hotel in Langley, BC. For that, we’d recommend paying an extra $40 to stay at Best Western Plus Country Meadows Inn where the free breakfast includes meat options while the rooms are clean and consistent. The problem with Canadas Best Value Inn is that they host a lot of long-term guests with unscrupulous behavior who smoke plentifully so unfortunately the property can fall into disrepair and cleanliness isn’t the best either. It’s not exclusively a Langley hotel, they offer short and long term stays to questionable individuals (I read that some budget hotels have a program with government to host recovering drug addicts… at least this was what was done at the Sleep Lodge in Coquitlam before it closed. We looked at that too while analzying all hotels in Coquitlam to find the BEST hotels in Coquitlam. You can’t run a hotel with guests and have a questionable crowd scaring guests away like that, while spoiling your rooms. It’s either one or the other.) So basically, avoid this Langley hotel if you can. The owner appears friendly and the breakfast appears reasonable (continental breakfast with muffin, toast, fruits, juice, coffee, egg) but unfortunately your experience will vary and the rooms aren’t the best neither is the crowd ESPECIALLY if you’re sensitive to smokers and noise. Think techno music blasting and hallway reeking of cigarettes. Enjoy Langley, BC!
