Hello Robin!
There are lots of ways, below are a few tactics.

Utilize social media: create a Facebook page and a new Twitter account. And always share your posts on your FB page and tweet about it regularly – at least twice a day. Invite new friends on Facebook – no more than 20 per day – and invite them to like your Page. This way search engines will notice your presence there. You can create targeted FB ads too.
You can submit your content to top social bookmarking sites by using Onlywire. It’s free and easy to use.
Comment on blog and forum posts in your niche and leave the link to your website in your signature. Create a Squidoo lense and a page on Hubpages.com. Google loves these pages.

Put location in your title tag so users can immediately know where this hotel is. Create a Google Places account so you can be seen in Google Maps and in searches pertaining to hotels in your area

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Use social media. Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, LinkedIn, Reddit, Digg and others can be a big source of traffic for your business. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools.

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and © get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

Free Traffic X is what worked for me. I have read tons of articles and forums and listened to hours of videos. None of those "Gurus" told me about a free Google tool to find targeted traffic. This cool technique is how I found you - a targeted user interested in Traffic.
