Anyone can book a trip，but not everyone can plan the best adventure that's affordable and fun.Here are tips that we'd like to share with you about hotels.
|
Check Distances on a Map
It's not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate(夸大)their closeness to attractions around town.If being close to a particular airport is important for your trip，confirm distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel.
|
|
Be Polite to the Staff
A little niceness goes a long way，especially with hotel staff that has to deal with difficult guests on a regular basis.When you check in，simply say hello to the cleaning staff when you pass them in the hall.This is not only common politeness，but it also increases your chances of getting perks(额外待遇)during your stay.
|
|
Skip the Package Deals
To appeal to new guests，some hotels will offer themed package deals(主题套餐)that sound exciting but may not be worth it.Sometimes these packages include things you don't want or need and the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.
|
|
Ask about Parking
Especially when you stay in large cities，parking costs really add up.Look for hotels offering parking rates.If parking is expensive，apps like Best Parking can help you find nearby parking lots at cheaper rates if you don't mind walking a bit.
