I've booked a hotel room through Super 8 hotel by contacting them by phone.
I called the super 8 hotel or motel that I was gonna be staying at and booked a hotel or motel room a day in advanced to ensure they had a hotel or motel room available.
I simply used my credit card and booked the motel or hotel room over the phone.
You may be able to book a hotel room for super 8 online but I just did it over the phone.
Most hotels hold $50.00 - $200.00 per night on your credit card for incidentals, on top of the room price.
A credit card hold should be removed within 24 hours after you check out.
A credit card hold won't affect your credit utilization. The final charge will.
