Hotel room prices can be misleading. The fact that a hotel advertises a low price does not guarantee that it is good value for money. Always do your own research and ask a few questions.
Reserve in advance
The best hotel deal (price, location, standard and facilities) is made by booking well in advance, especially if booked during a holiday period or some other special event. Generally, as hotels fill up, they increase the price of their rooms. So booking in advance always gives you a good price. Sometimes booking at the last minute is great for getting a hotel deal if a hotel hasn’t booked enough rooms. If you’re not too picky about where you stay, this can work in your favor, but don’t expect it to work during peak holiday periods when there’s a special event in town.
hotel amenities
Take a good look at the hotel facilities. You have chosen two hotels that cost the same. One hotel has a huge pool and spa and the other doesn’t. This is great if you are traveling in the summer and plan to use a pool and spa, the hotel with those facilities is a better value for you. But if you’re traveling in the winter and don’t want to use a pool or spa, take a closer look because the second hotel may have other facilities you prefer. Maybe there is free internet access or breakfast is included in the price. After all, you pay for everything extra that a hotel offers. Our reservation system provides a detailed list of all hotel facilities for easy comparison.
Hotel rental
Try to choose a hotel closer to the attractions you’ve come to see or very close to public transportation. If you’ve chosen a hotel that isn’t in the center of things, you may need to factor transportation costs into the total cost of your vacation. If you’ve arrived on your own, it’s probably not a problem. If you plan to use taxis or another form of public transportation, that can be a hefty extra expense to add to your vacation. Remember to ask if the hotel offers a shuttle service to and from attractions and airports. This could save you a lot of money and make your visit less stressful. Our reservation system provides a Google map of the location of the hotels so that the clients can know the surroundings.
Breakfast
Try to book a hotel that includes a breakfast (preferably an American buffet) in the price. This can be very convenient and save you money on your visit. Our reservation system specifies if breakfast is included in the room price.
Restaurant
In general, my advice is not to eat in the hotel restaurant because they are usually too expensive and attract hotel guests for convenience rather than offering a wide variety of food. Choose a hotel in an area with many restaurants and food courts for a wide variety of options at reasonable prices. And if you order room service, expect to be overcharged.
Departure time
Most hotels have a check-out time of around 10-11am. If you have a flight or other connection later in the day, most hotels will store your luggage while you shop or sightsee. Check if you can negotiate a later checkout time. If the hotel is not full, often the hotel accommodates you, especially if you arrived late at night or stayed in the hotel for several days. Our reservation system allows you to specify your planned arrival and departure times so that the hotel staff knows in advance and can do their best to accommodate your requirements.
Traveler Reviews
Our reservation system website publishes real customer experiences for you to read and then make a decision in selecting the best hotel for your vacation or business. This can be very valuable information as some hotels may look good in the photos, but how old are the photos? Other hotels may be older but have just been renovated and are a good deal again. And we all know that customer service can vary greatly from hotel to hotel.
