especially if a return customer (and it is nice that they may remember you) and accept their 'best' price.
If walking off the street to somewhere I haven't stayed before, and looking for on the day accommodation, I usually try and negotiate because they might be in the position to negotiate and it's better for them to have a room occupied than not.
lol.... once I got the Besakih down just a tad cause I was travelling with my brother and told them that he was going to certainly frequent their pool bar plenty lol.... got the discount, and he played their piano in their dining room every night at popular request of fellow travellers and staff as well. He didn't have to frequent the bar that night, he was plied with free beers to keep playing ..... a lovely memory for a proud sister taking her newbie brother to Bali!
