Tips
Everyone who travels wants their lodging to be comfortable and clean. Choosing the appropriate accommodations can be difficult. If you have never been to a particular hotel, you do not always know what to expect.
Cleanliness: No one enjoys staying at a filthy hotel. When you enter the lobby, scan the area for dirt, garbage, and tidiness. When you meet the staff, check to see if their uniforms are clean and neat. It is important to check the room where you will be sleeping. Look at the floor and bathroom to see if they are clean. Check to see if the floor has been vacuumed. The bathrooms should have new shampoo and soaps. The towels and facecloths should be clean and placed in an orderly manner.
Staff: When arriving, the airpot hotel staff should be smiling and warmly greet you. Someone should take your bags and lead you to the check-in desk. Do they provide a concierge service? The concierge should be able to answer all of your questions and explain the other amenities the hotel offers.
Family Oriented Hotels: Many hotels provide activities for children. If you are traveling with children, you should ask a few questions before booking. Ask the staff about any special kids clubs. Does the hotel have a pool or recreational area for children? Are there staff member that monitor these area?
Business Accommodations: Make sure the hotel has enough rooms to accommodate everyone attending. If you require a convention room, make sure you ask before booking. You can also ask the following questions: How many occupants per room? Are there discounts for business events? Are there events in the area that the business guests could attend?
Smoking: Some hotels may be smoke free or have certain smoking floors. If you smoke, ask if they provide smoking rooms. For non-smokers, make sure you get a room that is non-smoking. When examining the room, smell the room to see if it smells like smoke.
